Hi, Matt

Thanks for pointing that out: I think this was happening because one  
of our build was missing a package (dpkg-dev). I've installed it, so  
future .debs should not have this problem.

However, even with this problem addressed, I believe that you won't be  
able to install that .deb on Hardy unless you upgraded from Gutsy, as  
discussed in an older thread on this list:
