Replying to Philip:
If they add a newer Debian then we could enable that
According to Philip their Debian 6.0 build won't work either.

I've uploaded 0 A.D. packages to Debian's repositories (wheezy/sid) a few weeks ago; see http://packages.qa.debian.org/0ad
A backport for Debian 6.0 seems unlikely given the amount of build dependencies that would also have to be backported in Debian (enet, spidermonkey/mozjs, nvtt, and probably a few others). However, 0 A.D. is currently available for Debian testing and will be present in future Debian stable releases, so I suppose this ticket can be closed.

We're using the OpenSUSE build service which currently seems to only have Debian 5.0 enabled for games projects, and that has too old a version of Boost to compile successfully. If they add a newer Debian then we could enable that; otherwise we need a different method for making Debian packages (but I don't know what that would be).
