Yes - and I re-installed (yesterday) the latest version from the repositories:

bill at Zita:~$  dpkg -l | grep scribus
ii  scribus                                1.4.0.dfsg+r17300-1ubuntu1
            Open Source Desktop Page Layout - stable branch
ii  scribus-doc                            1.4.0+r17300-1
            non-free documentation for Scribus
ii  scribus-template                       1.2.4.1-2
            additional scribus templates
bill at Zita:~$
