The biggest reason is that Debian/Ubuntu ships Mono with their system,
and chops it up differently than Suse does. This means there is a good
chance that our packages would cause problems on your machine when we
overwrite those packages with the new ones. IE: things like Banshee,
F-Spot, and Tomboy might no longer work. Therefore, we believe it is
better to let Debian/Ubuntu make packages that are compatible with their
systems.
Hopefully, 2.0 packages for Debian/Ubuntu will soon start appearing in
the places listed on http://www.mono-project.com/Other_Downloads.
