Yes. (Though the Debian source package is actually called "gal2" as we still
have a "gal" source package for the GNOME1 version)

Fixed gal packages are already on their way into sid (see
http://bugs.debian.org/192180 and
http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?arch=&pkg=gal2) and the powerpc buildd
will probably retry gnumeric itself soon.
