Humph, I was hoping that you'd inject it to somewhere like the demudi
repos so that I can have read/write access.
Free, are you fine with the idea of using
http://svn.debian.org/wsvn/demudi for rosegarden as well?

Yikes.

Hmm... ?
Anyway, there's going to be a 'rosegarden' and probably a
compatibility 'rosegarden4' symlink.
We can make rosegarden4 or rosegarden a dummy package, and
use either one.
rosegarden2 can be removed. It is a very different beast, and there
might be users, but really, I don't think it's too good an idea to
keep something that is only of an archaeological interest.
I'm cc'ing the respective bugreports as a final call that
rosegarden/rosegarden2 are going to be removed in favor of
rosegarden4, and that 'rosegarden' will be a dummy pointing to
rosegarden4.
regards,
junichi
