As the repostory was only containing network-manager and related
packages it could have worked, but it didn't and I never expected it to.

I found a bug report covering packaging it for debian at:

http://bugs.debian.org/270538

Maybe the already existing ubuntu package at bootlab might be of some
help for the debian maintainer?

That only bytes are downloaded comes from the fact that the archives
were already fetched. I didn't want to post to the list with output in
the sv_SE locale.

The problem lies in that the MD5Sum for the correctly downloaded file
does not match that for the "Files" field in
network-manager_0.4.1+cvs20050817-0ubuntu5.dsc, but it does match the
field in the ...-ubuntu4.dsc file.

For some reason the .orig.tar.gz file has been changed between the
versions on the packager's machine. 


After figuring out this, I bumped into problems with libdbus-glib-1-dev
being to old (0.23) in sarge. I.e. lacking needed functions in the API.
A newer version (0.34-3) was available in experimental. With all build
dependencies satisfied building that version still failed, and that's
were I give up today.
