Are there some wiki pages / tickets / whatever describing what needs to 
be done to evince and abiword to make them suitable and what the issues 
are with that?

I'd like to recommend distro-packaged Sugar on Debian to users 
(especially for "non-mainstream" architectures like ARM/PPC/MIPS), but 
without Read and Write it's still crippled (but thanks for all the work 
so far!). :-/
