Just around 4 months shy for a partially working repository right? Just 
like you said, 'building using the mdz sources made that a snap'. I call 
that 'abandoned'.

If they aren't going for inclusion into debian proper, and they can't 
keep up with the nosebleed changes. The solution is simple. Don't target 
sid otherwise its all in vain. But putting it into the documentation is 
just going to trip everybody up. A good example is this very thread.
