Well, there it is, proof I finally broke things on Debian sarge.  I
guess I couldn't expect packages built on the latest Ubuntu to work
forever with older versions of Debian and Ubuntu - I suspect Hoary and
Sarge are both broken now.

Frankly, I don't have the resources to maintain the packages and
properly backport them to Debian stable or Ubuntu Hoary at the moment,
and I suspect that this will get increasingly hard as sarge gets more
and more archaic.  For now, I guess all I can do is say that they are
for Debian testing (where they should work still) and the latest Ubuntu.
