>From the users point-of-view (what we care about) they need the best
version available, so if the "point" release contains bugs that are
fixed in the SVN, you either package the "stable" release and the
apply the patch from the svn, or simply package the upstream svn
revision. Here a doc[1] I wrote to create the get-orig-source target
