as stated before:

-- System Information:
Debian Release: lenny/sid
  APT prefers testing
  APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable'), (10,
'experimental')
Architecture: i386 (i686)

i was installing the ubuntu package, as it provided a debian package for
the 0.97 release

i don't want to go into debugging scons ... if you want to do so ... the
scons build system for my application can be found at:

http://tim.klingt.org/git?p=nova.git;a=tree;h=0201bf0786c8029cc6ef5a5bcd4688fa374231a5;hb=0201bf0786c8029cc6ef5a5bcd4688fa374231a5

when i changed a header file, scons didn't rebuild the targets,
including this header ...

from the scons announcement:

debian stable doesn't include a checkpoint release, but that doesn't
mean, that testing/unstable should provide development versions ...
afaict, that is what experimental is for ...
