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.
