I am sure that it will.  I have been running pcb git HEAD
(bleeding-edge) for a year or so, and still using the gEDA/gschem from
Ubuntu repositories.  Currently I use gschem 1.6.2 (on Ubuntu 11.04)
with pcb git HEAD and it works fine.

The gEDA file formats are stable and compatibility has been
well-maintained.

I doubt it.  Until a couple of months ago, I was running Ubuntu 10.04
with the latest pcb git HEAD -- no problem.

I wonder if anyone has a Launchpad PPA for gEDA?
