Yeah, the machine died and we have yet to hear anything useful back other than that it's supposedly on. We've been meaning to set up another porterbox but haven't yet got round to it. If you want to give me a .dsc to build I can try it for you; unless you plan on doing a lot more porting, there's not much point me creating an account for you on the (somewhat) private machine, but if you want me to I just need a GPG-signed email with your SSH key.
