Restated:

It's been established that the version of povray that is on the ubuntu pms is
buggy in a way that the one at povray.org is not. I'm also pretty sure that the
ubuntu pms system is independent of that for SUSE-- you would have had (at least
in 2006?) a different version of povray.

Q: does Debian have a separate pms? Does it have a version of povray without the
bug related to folder set-up?  Does it have newer versions of povray or blender?

Motivation: I'm considering going back to Debian after seeing so much to love in
Knoppix 5.3.1 compared to my updated Kubuntu HDD install.  If you know of a
reason why that's a bogus comparison, I'm open to disabusement on that as well.
 thanks.
