Yeah, actually I have in mind to review the whole structure of that wiki
page, but it is still in The ToDio list, but thanks for pointing this
out.

At this moment we cannot really attach new slaves because we are still
trying to get some ports open in the firewall for external slaves.
That's why the debian slave is offline at this moment.

However, you can attach your slave to my development environment here:
http://buildbrigade.igalia.com/buildbot/

This way we can verify that your setup is ok prior to attach it to the
production master.

I'll send you a buildslave.list as well as host and passwd for this
master.

Thanks for your help!
