Regardless, ironically, I've got this stuff running on my mac via a manual install much better than I do on debian with the packages, but I'd love to help with development, and I want to stay current so I'm trying to switch over. Right now, theres something broken where its not finding the C++ includes (i.e. #include <string> won't work, etc) and I have no idea why. If anybody has run in to this, I'd appreciate a tip. Debugging as you're reading.
Never seen that one... thanks for all your work testing/fixing/debugging!

Also, just as a thought, since your debian package for wpilib has a builddep for cmake, and AFAIK, just invokes it, why don't you just use CPack? Seems like that would be a little bit cleaner solution, but that's just me.
Because CPack, though easy, doesn't handle dependencies, metadata, and maintainer scripts as nicely as the native toolchain does.
