I just did the following on quantal i386 :

wget -qO - http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/GPG-PUBLIC-KEY | sudo apt-key 
add -

Than added 

deb http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/packages/quantal/i386/ ./

to /etc/apt/sources.list

and apt-get update worked.

The big problem remaining is that my packages don't replace ubuntu's
so you can have a mismatch on your machine.

Thanks,
Philippe
