I don't like svn in package names. Daily expresses much better what it is.
It is not the current state of svn, it is a daily build. With leaving out
the daily builds of current release branch (now 70), it would be just:

* `grass` - latest stable release
* `grass6` - latest stable release of 6.x series
* `grass-daily` - daily build of trunk

In my suggestion I suppose that we don't need to package daily builds of
current release branch (now 70). However, I'm not sure how to deal with
betas and RCs. Should they be also accessible just through standalone
installer? Or are they considered as "latest stable release" and thus for
example, 7.0.1RC1 would replace 7.0.0 in package `grass`?
