I'm going the update the whole packaing scripts for debian to the latest 
specification.

Several modules were added or renamed, thus the error. In the meantime you're 
better of installing manually (practically that makes no difference on debian, 
all patches were merged and the custom config in debian that remained is 
obsoleteted by apps-menu).
