Hi Jonathan,
It's been a while since I had the chnace to work on this, so I will try it again soon. I believe I attempted these steps before, but getting the packages from sid was more problematic than it should have been. I will try again in a few days and be sure to update the bug report this time. Sorry for the suspense.
