thanks for the link, but i'm using marillat already and a quick look
at the packages file[1] for sid shows that this is tracking the 0.18.1
release.  i've started making custom changes to 0.18 to fix issues i
am having and to install things like mythgame, but i am thinking of a
more general solution of being able to properly manage the latest for
a dist and perhaps these debian directories in contrib under svn could
be used by marillat to create experimental packages for the masses
too.
