Hi david, I just checked out and built branches/6.9/ for amd64.
It builds fine, but fails the manifest check due to the upstream install target for rstart copying the .svn/ directory for xc/programs/rstart/commands/ and xc/programs/rstart/contexts/ into debian/tmp/. xc/programs/rstart/Imakefile defines a Recurse macro that filters out CVS files, but this fails for obvious reasons with a svn checkout. Switching CVS for svn as in the trivial patch below cures the problem. Not knowing much about Imake, it took me a while to track this down, so I thought I'd let you know about it.
