Hello there

1) Does current bibletime builds against Karmic? Build fails in
developer-testing ppa.

2) What is sword-language-packs package?

3) Are we downgrading sword-frontend from recommends to suggests in libsword9?

4) Do we need to update sword texts?

5) The downsides of using recipes to build package

- it currently builds recipes from branches as Dpkg source format 1.0
native only and hense generates tarballs for each upload instead of
using released tarball or snapshot tarball.

- The above (IMHO) outweights changing release version and generating
24 source package uploads (3 packages * 4 distros * 2 PPA)
