Doesn't matter. I'm sure anyone who is really interested will install dosbox
manually. I just thought I'd bring it to your attention now rather than
later.

for those who are desperate, you can build this from source. instuctions here http://www.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=158723&page=2&highlight=dosbox+0.65

or, for those who are scared of compiling from source, i have poorly built one using my n00b package building skills.

I think an update of this package is not only important due to the speed improvement. It might fix a lot of bugs, too.
