I have it working on Debian/unstable with SRSS 4 and half a year ago
(when unstable was more or less identical to stable) with SRSS 3.1.1

Of course, upgrading SRSS on Debian is even less supported than installing it!
-:)
I always try a clean installation from scratch, i.e.
- dump the output of utuser -o, utdesktop -o, utresadm -o, utresdef -o
and utxconfig -o into files and import them at the end with the "-i"
option
into the new SRSS database
- remove all sunw* debian packages
- remove (or rename) all remaining directory trees, i.e. /opt/SUNW*,
/var/opt/SUNW*, /etc/opt/SUNW*
- install & configure new version

BTW, you only need them for audio and USB mass storage devices.

My utprodinfo also returns a newline at the end:
# /opt/SUNWut/lib/utprodinfo -p SUNWutwh BASEDIR |hexdump -c
0000000 / o p t \n
0000005
Which script has a problem with this?

The necessesary links should be created by the utctl script which is
called by /etc/init.d/utsyscfg.
Utctl creates the links only once. It then creates the empty file
/etc/opt/SUNWut/utctl.run as a flag which indicates that utctl has already done
its job. Perhaps you have this file as a relic from an older installation?
BTW, it creates the links under /opt/SUNWut/lib/compatlinks/:
/opt/SUNWut/lib/compatlinks# ls -l
total 0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2007-08-22 21:49 liblber.so.199 ->
/usr/lib/liblber-2.3.so.0
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 25 2007-08-22 21:49 libldap.so.199 ->
/usr/lib/libldap-2.3.so.0

Hm, this file is in the SUNWkior package. No idea why it is missing
on your installation.

Do you remember the name of the script?

Did you install the xkb-data-legacy package and apply the xkbinstall.sh script?
