This could get messy, as debhelper in testing depends on lots of other things in testing, and I would be better off upgrading to Testing, which I'm not real keen on at this point (machine is running too well :) I might try statically linking the package on a Testing machine, damn shame that one is an Alpha, so I'll have to learn how to cross-compile AND statically link a package.
