"Real soon" didn't happen for various reasons that transitioned from 
waiting on upstream to fix broken packaging to us giving up hope in 
upstream doing so and forgetting about it for too long. But, we did get 
those bugs resolved and finally rolled out debathena-thirdparty to the 
clusters last Monday night, so you should be able to get gp and a whole 
host of other software to work now.
