I think too it's better to use the svn release versioning, which is
easier to match with the upstream status than the timstamp. And also the
"more or less stable" revision is a good idea, because makes us able to
select the better version to package.

Unfortunately upstream has also made some not very Debian friendly
changes, mainly those who concern i18n. We'll have to create the
tarballs picking stuff both from svn.openstreetmap.org and from
josm.openstreetmap.de, and then adapt the ant files to behave correctly.

I'm planning to have some time to try to do so during the Christmas
Holidays (this year I begun with university, so I haven't had much time
so far...).

Cheers, Giovanni.
