I just had a look, I think we just fixed the same thing, i.e. the extra
abstractions and objects not being installed.  At quick glance, mine
looks a bit closer to piem's Debian/testing example, and is more
targeted (i.e. less * used...).  I built upon piem's and IOhannes' fixes
too, which I am not sure if you included.  They are in the 0.42.5-3 in
Debian/testing.

I mostly posted mine as an FYI, since I am just learning to use
Launchpad.  I don't plan on maintaining stuff there.  I just know that
some people are stuck on old releases due to their hardware, so its good
to have updated packages around for old releases.
