OK, I got bibledit-gtk 4.2-1 approved and into Debian unstable :)

Well, except that the name change means it is being treated as NEW, and
so will take some more time (a week or two) to be manually processed
before it shows up.

I think you will want to decide how the application wants to handle this:

either (A) it can detect xetex, and work around it being missing (maybe
greying out menu items that *need* xetex?), in which case it does not
depend on xetex.

Or, (B) if it really truly needs xetex, then we (I!) should add xetex to
its Depends: line (or maybe Recommends:) so that end users will
automatically pull in xetex when they install the bibledit-gtk package.

Now bibledit-gtk is in there, I should try to do the same thing for
bibletime, and get its most recent packaging into Debian too :)
