[hobbit] moving hobbit from Ubuntu to Debian

[Dan Simoes]

Telnet to localhost as well as 127.0.0.1 work, yes.
The hobbitdboard returns a lot of data.

I've literally been looking at this for hours, I don't know what else is
wrong.
I even did a completely fresh install, dropped in my bb-hosts, same results.
I know bb-hosts is OK since it's working elsewhere (I did change the bbd
line of course).
