Which means it should be safe to use 1.0.0~svn... now. In Debian, ~ is
implemented to always come first sort-order-wise.

I'm on XP at work right now, but my guess is that the warnings about
some missing files (which are harmless) trigger the exit status.

flexible starting point that fits mostly every debian based system
with only small modifications (like dependency versions) and a
rebuild.
