I don't know about Bacula being broken on Debian. I've been using Bacula at work on Debian since version 1.34 back in 2004 and had it never not work. Right now I am up to 7.4.3 on Jessie from backports, running backups for about 250 systems. Privately I run in Debian Unstable, backuping 10 systems to disk and tape. Again, never experienced the problems you have. If Bacula was unusable and broken on Debian, there would be bug reports in the BTS. Grüße, Sven.
