In apt's case there are good reasons for using the svn-head version,
biggest reason perhaps being proper SELinux support. Sure, you could
take just that patch and apply to cnc6 .. but I just happen to know svn-
head is stable and has bunch of other nice stuff besides just selinux-
support. :)

Too bad Gustavo hasn't gotten around to releasing cnc7 :( I've been
thinking of making an unofficial release out of the current tree but
probably that would just confuse matters even more. :-/
