Description
as most debian users have highs speed internet, the debian package should include a feature to use a recent josm version.
Suggestion:
create josm-recent as alternative (etc/alternatives) to josm.
dpkg-reconfigure josm tries to fetch the most recent version to /usr/lib/josm (or sim.).
Additionally, josm could make a recent copy of josm-recent.jar in ~/.josm if desired.
What do you think?
Another option could be a webstart version - but it is sufficient to run:
wget http://josm.openstreetmap.de/download/josm-latest.jar && java -jar josm-latest.jar
You should report package related bugs/suggestion in the bug tracker of your distribution.
