I'm working on the packaging branch at the minute. I have updated to the new debhelper script format, which makes the package a lot easier to maintain. I'm not exactly sure how we would implement the packaging so that both the stable and trunk packages can be installed at once, but it's probably doable. I guess we'd need to rename the trunk source package, and ensure that the binaries are installed as "inkscape-trunk", "inkview-trunk" etc. Once we're happy that no conflicts exist with stable inkscape, we can drop the "Conflicts: inkscape" relationship in debian/control. I can look into packaging the da stash plugin when the main trunk package is ready.
Also, Inkscape trunk needs cairo >= 1.10, which isn't available in Ubuntu Lucid. Do we (a) provide our own updated Cairo package for Lucid (which may well break many other packages in Lucid!!) or (b) Just say that we only support Maverick and above.
Thanks,
Alex

Since we're on this topic, would you be interested in the da stash plugin to be added to our PPA as well?
That's a good idea, I don't have any skills on making a recipe for building so it's kind-of stuck with the manual packaging I have at the moment.
I also need to check to make sure it still works, deviantArt changed their domain to http://sta.sh (and I never got that website to work) so let me check on it's functionality so I know it works.
