Hello!

You can use the tool rmadison (part of ubuntu-dev-tools) which will tell
you the version of a package in different releases.

It is also useful to subscribe to maverick-changes [1] mailing list,
where you receive a message every time there is a new upload to
Maverick. Please, take into account that this is a high-traffic mailing
list and you should filter its messages.

Cheers,
Ara.
