I found two problems with the packages (I used the package source code
from ftp.debian.org and built it on my own for sarge and etch using
dpkg-buildpackage):

1.) On the host which runs the hobbit server,
/etc/logrotate.d/hobbit-client gets installed, which conflicts with
/etc/logrotate.d/hobbit.

2.) When I install a hobbit-client .deb for the first time, the
installer asks for the server's address and the client hostname, but it
forgets those values immediately. /etc/default/hobbit-client always
contains HOBBITSERVERS="127.0.0.1" and a guessed CLIENTHOSTNAME. Running
"dpkg-reconfigure hobbit-client" after the initial installation fixes
this. (It asks again for both values.)

Regards,
Andreas
