Public bug reported:
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 people is usually encouraged to
install and run a nightly svn snapshot instead.
To avoid using a not 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 Ubuntu/Debian.
