mondo is in the universe repositories.
If you do decide to use it, consider installing it from upstream
rather than using the packages in the repository which I've had issues
with.   Also be sure to pin the package if you install it that way so
the ubuntu packages (which are numbered differently) don't overwrite
it on your next update.
