Attached -debug 3 output, client and server logs for 1) Succesful join by the packaged client and server, and 2) Failed join by the packaged client and manually-installed server. Plus a screenshot of the client upon fail.

I see no useful debug messages upon trying to connect through the client GUI. All GUI activity takes place in 'failed client output' between lines 793 and 795. ** Description changed: A multiplayer game served from the Debian/Ubuntu package can only be - reached by clients running the same package.
