Simple answer is to not use Automatix on Debian. Keep such trash
software on Ubuntu, where it belongs. Most, if not all, of the things
that Automatix installs and configures can be done by the user, as
long as they do a *little* googling and use the non-free, contrib
sections in the Debian repositories and also use the Debian-Multimedia
repository.
