I just got the 0.18.1 working (from .deb) on a fresh debian sid

coexist on the same setup where I got the 0.18.1 stable working?
Note that puting SVN to /usr/local (while the stable lays in /usr)
and
renaming the database (I don't mind keeping two databases) might not
be
enough so I decided to ask if someone runs such setup successfully.
I have both on my system - 0.18.1 for the g/f (stable, no change to
behaviour) and latest SVN for when she's out and I can try out the
bleeding
edge.
I installed one to prefix=/usr/local/mythSVN and the other to
prefix=/usr/local/mythSTABLE. I then have a script that removes and
recreates symlinks to /usr/local/myth as required - this way I don't
have to
change the PATH for the mythytv user. I do have to re-run ldconfig
after the
symlinks are set up to make sure the libraries are referenced OK.
This is *exactly* what GNU stow is for.

What about the MySQL database - from 0.18.1 to SVN head there are
incompatabilities aren't there?
Do you rename the relevant directory containing the database (mythconverg)
and restart the mysql server or what?
Well, I personally don't run concurrent versions that have incompatible
database schemas. Presumably you'd have to fuss about with dump/restore.
