My brain still hurts from figuring out everything I have done so far.
I'd rather not have to start again if I can at all help it. As you say
there will be a correct way to do this and I would hope that being
pointed to that correct way I would be able to do so with the tools I am
already using. I shall keep this message highlighted but I'd like to
hold off looking at this sword thing for as long as possible, it sounds
like it might just be the straw that broke the camel's back!

As most people are now well aware I'm desperate to be able to work out

Gareth - I'm away from my main computer at the moment and don't have all
the stuff with me. This is the critical patch from the Sword library
package. I is a copy of Dmitri's original from an earlier Sword Debian
package. I do remember not being able to get it to work properly until
I was told to use the chroot version of Debian. I spent many frustrated
hours trying. There is no gui in the Sword engine - it's pure library
binary stuff with the odd commanline program - and it was just fine.
Your program does not need to be gui - it just needs to put stuff where
Debian/Ubuntu allows it. pbuilder under debootstrap is very strict, and
gives a lot more error messages.
