Thanks. Accordingly, the sequence to add your repo is as following:

- - -
For example, for precise x86 you can add this line to sources.list, in
Synaptic or in System Preferences -> Software & Updates -> Other
Software -> Add...:

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

Then run the following commands in a terminal:

  sudo true && \
    curl http://coyote.octets.fr/pub/gnustep/GPG-PUBLIC-KEY | \
    sudo apt-key add -
  sudo apt-get update
- - -

Perhaps it's worth adding this to your release note.

- - - - -

Doing the above and attempting to install gnumail.app leads me to the
following:

$ LANGUAGE=en  # You see? A terminal can translate on it's own :-)

$ sudo apt-get install gnumail.app

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
 gnumail.app :
Depends: addressmanager.app but it is not going to be installed
Depends: gnustep-back0.22 (>= 0.22.0) but it is not going ...

E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.


Sorry for nagging so much, but I think it's important to get such
details resolved. Typical distribution users don't expect to wrestle
with Google and the command line for an hour or two, just to get a
package installed.
