Dear Maintainer,

It's been 6 years since the latest stable release of dosbox v0.74 and there's no clue on when they'll be releasing the next one. A lot of bug fixes have been done against svn and upstream usually encourages people to install and run a nightly svn snapshot instead.

To avoid using a not effectively supported upstream version of dosbox, I propose to package a given snapshot of their svn, the same way that this is done with other packages already in Debian.
