It packages fine.  I've not tested it much beyond that, yet!

Ubuntu Intrepid 8.10-using front end developers can test my initial
SWORD packages of 1.6.0RC1 from my new PPA at

  https://edge.launchpad.net/~jmarsden/+archive/sword-developer-testing

So the way to install these would be along the lines of (apologies for
line-wrapping issues, Thunderbird *really* doesn't want me to send long
lines!):

  echo "deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jmarsden/sword-developer-testing/ubuntu
intrepid main" |sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jmarsden-sword.list
  echo "deb
http://ppa.launchpad.net/jmarsden/sword-developer-testing/ubuntu
intrepid universe" |sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jmarsden-sword.list
  sudo apt-key adv --recv-keys --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com
88D3798F03888894
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install diatheke --no-install-recommends -y

There should be 5 lines above, two start with echo and the remaining
three started with sudo.

After that, test away :)

I hope to have equivalent Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 packages in the same PPA in
a few minutes, just in case any front end devs are daring enough to be
working on a beta OS :)
