the debian package is dynamically linked against the system libraries, 
including libc, popt, pthreads, and (alas) boost. I might change this 
back to static now that I have this configure flag for semi-static 
builds, not sure. I don't know how much debian as an organization will 
want to enforce dynamic linking, and I'd someday like to get monotone 
into debian main.

at this point, my whole world of file distribution (savannah, venge.net, 
etc.) have either broken, been broken into, or fallen off the net, so 
I'll have to ask you to sit tight and wait. you can probably dig the 
debian control files out of our CVS server or monotone depot if and when 
they become accessible, and do a build from there.
