 It's probably not a good idea to search for new versions cross GNOME
 development branches either.  GNOME does a lot of 2.13 releases which
 are development milestones, and releases 2.14 a while after that.  We
 don't upload 2.13 versions to Debian, and we will continue maintenance
 of 2.12 even after 2.14 is released; even GNOME might release 2.12
 modules after 2.14 if theres any need to.

 FYI, I already had bumped the watch file to 2.10 in SVN.

 Ok, I updated the SVN to track only stable branches:
 ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/libbonobo/([\d\.]+)\.[02468]/libbonobo-(.*)\.tar\.gz
 debian uupdate
