I didn't know that 0.7.7 was available except as a source tarball - when
I look on the Debian site it isn't listed, and the Ubuntu site does not
seem to list the packages it has.

We are about to release 0.7.8 which is just done as a tarball of the
source - it would be nice if we could release a .deb package but I don't
know how that's done. If anyone knows what is needed/can do please say!
I notice that LilyPond comes as a shell script with all the neccessary
libraries embedded so that it can be installed entirely in user-space -
I don't know how that is done either.
