Hmmm.... I assumed Hauke and Luca were taking good care of Bacula in
Debian, since I can't possibly do it for the time being.
While I
understand your reasons (and /opt/bacula is certainly not the worst
place to install to), I guess having a unified set of packages for both
Bacula Enterprise and Debian would help.
Anyhow, for a Debian-based
distro, having Bacula back itself up is innecesary and
counter-productive, I believe --- the binaries are available at all
times from the Archive.
This said, if you need a beta tester / some
suggestions or patches for the packages, I can help.
Thanks

while we work on them, but that would be in violation of the AGPLv3. By
the way, most of the build/install scripts (RedHat, OSX, SuSE, ...) are
in the source code, but for Debian and a few other distros they are
not.
