Subversion based packages for maverick are built[1], just libs, plugins, 
NetEditor and chordata. Not even tested if they work properly (i am in natty) 
so please, give me any feedback on succes or failure.

Now trying to build for lucid[2], although i got the expected dependency 
problems i think i found some solutions, which won't be accepted by debian 
policy guardians but allows the same packaging work in both lucid and 
maverick.
