By the existence of the debian directory in CVS I was mislead to believe, that 
these were the current debian packaging files. So no wonder I had the 
problems I described.

I haven't heavily tested the 3.5 vm I build, but I haven't seen any crashes so 
far.

You saying this makes me believe, that my criticism came across in a wrong 
way. As I said before in this mail, I tried to use something that is outdated 
and so I had problems with it. My original mail was intended as some kind of 
raising a flag and saying "That doesn't work for me. What am I doing wrong? 
Have others seen that behavior too?" instead of, as it might came across, 
saying "y0u 4ll sUcK!!". (Sending the right signals in real life is hard 
enough, let alone in virtual email space. So setting this point straight 
might be a good idea even if it might not be necessary.)
Tim, Bert, you and others updated me on the current situation of the squeak 
building process and so after a somehow rough reentry on squeak planet I'm 
building one vm after the other. :)
Just let me say that I would still use the vm from the current debian 
packages, because they installed fine and worked very well. But I have the 
need for a modified JoystickTabletPlugin, so I got into this vm building 
business.
