Getting bbwin central config mode on Debian Etch

[Shawn Heisey <hobbit (at) elyograg.org>]

Background information:  We have an install of Big Brother BTF, an 
install I inherited when I took the job a few years ago.  Recently I 
discovered the unfortunate fact that we're not covered by the BTF 
license, so we are exploring other options.  Hobbit seems to be our best 
option.

I am using another server to build up a Hobbit configuration.  I 
installed it from the source tarball because I couldn't get the bbwin 
central config patch to apply against the debian source package.

I started looking into the Hobbit 4.3 snapshots, but I haven't been able 
to get them to build using 'debian/rules binary'.  Just a few minutes 
ago I got an idea.  I unpacked the pristine 4.2.0 source, applied the 
allinone patch, applied the bbwin patch, and then ran 'debian/rules 
binary'.  This successfully built packages.

First question - will these packages built from patched 4.2.0 work 
properly?  Second question - anything I can do to get the Hobbit 4.3 
snapshot (2008/06/05) to build?  Error output from my attempt to build 
debian packages below:
