Hi,

i tried to create packages of abiword myself a few weeks ago (and mostly succeeded, it just was a little unstable), i also created packages for the build-dependencies, including wv, libwmf and fribidi. I just uploaded the packages to my repository (http://people.debian.org/~tschmidt/maemo/chinook/). (The packages are all based on the normal Debian packages from Debian stable and Debian unstable with minor modifications to be able to compile them in scratchbox.)

I hope this can save you some time in creating working Debian packages of abiword.


Regards,
Thomas
