Debian and maven3 compression

We are trying to set up our first "server", and we would like maven3 to work on it. Now we have already installed debian compression with working svn so far. Now for the maven3 part, I was looking for a tutorial on installing / configuring compression, but so far I have found:

Maven 3.x is still in beta stage [1] and Debian Squeeze 6.0 is now frozen so it may not be a high priority package. If someone have enough time to package this (ie. based on maven2 package + all new runtime dependencies), maybe we can upload it to experimental archive.

Does this mean that we have to postpone it and switch to maven2 for now or can we try to get maven3?

It should belong to serverfault, in any case, yes, you need to wait if you want the official package.

Debian is a great distribution, but it does not offer the latest packages because their policies are excellent stability.

Usually, if you need a higher version of a package, you can add backports sources to the list of repositories, which provides newer versions of popular packages compiled against a stable distribution library, but currently they do not provide a maven package, because even in sid maven is on version 2.
