I'll wait for the Ubuntu devs to include it in their repositories. In the meantime I solved my original problem. As I said before, Cox's outsourced news feed added almost 10,000 groups the other day, all empty. I unsubscribed all of them but when I ran the L command today with * as a pattern I found a *huge* boatload of groups that weren't marked unsubscribed. I don't know if I missed them before or whether the news feed snuck them in later but after I unsubscribed them news checking was back to nornal.
