Did anyone else see this recently in Karmic? python-apport wouldn't upgrade
automatically due to a chain of dependency weirdness which led to
python-zopeinterface and python-zope.interface.

You have misunderstood. Lumír is not asking how to get this applet into
Ubuntu.
It sounds like the question is how to customize the CD to include this

fonts in Ubuntu for a some time now, and no common understanding of how to
improve the situation. I spent a little time thinking about this today, and
