[Sugar 0.84 in squeeze]
Did you actually try it?
No, but I didn't try any other distro packages either.

My experiences with using the Sugar packages in unstable is not good.
Using sugar-emulator, initial login fails.
It is probably a gconf problem. Possibly only occurs when running a non-GNOME environment as I do.
OK, can't help much in that case (but maybe someone else can) since distro installs usually rely on Orbit for GConf, not DBus. It's a pity that GConf-DBus seems to be unmaintained... From what I know about the Orbit-based GConf it should start the daemon automatically, so no explicit startup sequence required. Do the logs in ~/.sugar/default/logs show anything unusual? You could also try running "gconftool-2 -R /" to check whether there's a more general gconf breakage.

This problem have existed for a while now - but noone seems to have experienced it beyond me (no bugreports or questions about it on mailinglists), which make me suspect that noone use Sugar on Debian except me.
That is highly likely as 0.82 was only the bare minimum in Debian and quite buggy in general (in my experience). I hope that some users will switch from sugar-jhbuild (which is targeted to developers, not users) to Debian packages now that 0.84 is available.
