[Mono-list] Mono repositories for Ubuntu

[Wade Berrier]

Building debs in the suse build service seems a bit different.  I
haven't looked into it much, but they use a .dsc file (opposed to the
debian/* files?).

If someone wanted to help with packaging debs, it would be a matter of
getting an account on the build service, checking out the mono project,
and submitting the necessary .dsc files.

The debian-ish repositories supported are Etch, and Ubuntu 6.06.
