OK, cheers for checking that out. zookeeper is one of the remaining
SCC packages: http://people.debian.org/~wookey/bootstrap/blockerlist
that has not had any real attention yet. I'll take a look.

I did a manual build of eglibc to get round the testsuite failure
(which Adam knows about and will be fixed in next upload), but it
doesn't seem to have been installed. I'll see what's gone wrong there.
