I now found it: What have lacked in the past was python-evince, which 
was included in souce package gnome-python-desktop since version 
2.26.0-1 released 10 Jun 2009.

Sounds interesting indeed.

The repackaging work for Debian is needed anyway, I believe: I will not 
work on the package with its current packaging design, and the main 
maintainer, Masayuki Hatta, is not very active in Debian at the moment 
(I "helped" improve ghostscript packaging too during the last year, but 
in reality I have been the only one working on that package all through 
that time).

So I suspect it will take some time (or funding? but it's really hard to 
handle money in this equation) before libabiword is in Debian.
