Excellent news. Here's to more SL'ers doing the same :-)

Cool. Quick notes on what would need to happen...

 - ds-backup getting packaged for debian, at least the client side. If
you have patches to offer that bring in a 'debian/' directory, I'll
merge them in...

 - ds-backup server and client need to handle the repo format
transition as discussed w Tomeu (IIRC, this is important for sites
upgrading, so SoAS might not be affected...)

SoAS seems (from afar) the most active and promising platform, so... yay!

cheers,
