Bug Description
Binary package hint: crawl
Ubuntu Natty has the stable 0.7.x version of crawl packaged, but Maverick is still providing the 0.6.x package.
I installed the packages from Natty onto 10.10 without issue. Natty SHOULD be running development / unstable 0.8 and 10.10 should be on stable.
If there's anything I can do to expedite this transition, please let me know.

generally, we don't update packages to the new upstream versions after release. One exception is fixing bugs that are present in the current release. To get the new upstream version available for maverick one should request a backport to be made.
If you think it's important enough, you can click on Also affects project, and add a "maverick-
Then I'll build a package in the maverick environment and test it.
But keep in mind that it won't replace the current version in maverick and to get it installed people will have to enable maverick-backports repository manually, so the effort may be lost.
I'm marking the "ubuntu" task as Invalid -- the new one for maverick-backports should be opened, if you are interested in requesting a backport.
