dreieck [1] filed a deletion request for autopanovideo-beta [2]:

This should be deleted, since version 3.0.0 is now stable and package
`autopanovideopro` needs the appropriate update, which makes
`autopanovideo-beta` a duplicate:

Hi,
The problem is that autopano video 3 got released shortly before the company got canned by its overlords, was rushed and never got a single bugfix. It wasn't even considered stable by its developers. Also it requires a new product key IIRC.
It has legitimate improvements, especially stitching quality, and related to performance (but these are not in the linux version anyway...) but use it at your own risks.

So it is why the beta package is AVP 3 and the regular package is AVP 2, and it really should stay that way.
Renaming autopanovideopro into autopanovideo2 and autopanovideo-beta into autopanovideo3 would be a better solution I think, but it is debatable if it has any relevance to do so after so long.
