It'd be cool if our tools defaulted to using the public SVN repo URL, and let you configure when you wanted the private URL. (Possibly with a config file in your homedir, maybe even ~/.devscripts.) At the least, it shouldn't hardcode the private URL and also not give even an environment variable to override it.

If you install debathena-dns-config on squeeze, you get something like this:

Starting domain name service...: bind9resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolvconf/run/interface is not a directory
invoke-rc.d.debathena-orig: initscript bind9, action "start" failed.

This hangs with a defunct bind9.postinst process that can't be Ctrl-C'd. If you go and kill the perl debconf frontend that was wrapping the postinst, then the install proceeds with

dpkg: error processing bind9 (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script killed by signal (Terminated)
configured not to write apport reports
                                      Setting up resolvconf (1.46) ...
mkdir: created directory `/lib/init/rw/resolvconf'
mkdir: created directory `/lib/init/rw/resolvconf/interface'

at which point aptitude does the "trying to recover" thing by re-trying setting up bind9, which succeeds, which finally permits installing debathena-dns-config.

I've reproduced this on linerva/linerva-dev/linerva-test and tyger.

If you want to build Debathena software, go install build-depends yourself. This currently leads to stupid things like the maybe-foo packages being installed, and requires aptitude's dependency resolver to resolve the ubufox->xul-ext-ubufox transition, when that shouldn't have been necessary.
