This report is quite hard to follow in places. fwiw, I've just rebuilt the package inside an amd64 squeeze chroot, and there were no issues. > 1) Install Debian 6.0.3 using the official amd64 DVD images, do > not run any updates or security updates after the base 6.0.3 > install.

Why not "apt-get install build-essential && apt-get build-dep acpid"? That's the standard and supported way of ensuring you have the correct packages installed, not repeated trial and error. You also missed "install and possibly part remove packages from backports" from the above. The attachment you included lists, amongst others: ii initramfs-tools 0.99~bpo60+1 tools for generating an initramfs pi linux-libc-dev 2.6.39-3~bpo60+1 Linux support headers for userspace development There is no way your environment is purely installed from Debian 6.0.3 DVDs if it contains the above packages. Have you tried rebuilding the package in an environment that actually resembles that you suggest others should build in order to validate your report?
