I simply would like to inform those interested in this topic, that - while we all wait for the packaging of the latest beta - the procedure to create binaries from the source is *really* easy. More or less it works like this:

1) Download the source and uncompress the file
2) Install ant [sudo apt-get install ant]
3) Move into the source code directory
3) Run "ant dist"
4) The newly created "freemind.sh" is the executable you need

I used the Sun Java 6 (installed via ubuntu-restricted-extras package)

Hope this can help somebody here. :)
