imo, 2.0.5 was't needed here, though it's preferable to be up to date...

you could have used these too (part of the MGE repositories for PSP)
ex for Etch / Sid (/etc/apt/source.list format):

deb http://opensource.mgeups.com/beta/debian/unstable binary/

part of the many low priority things on my TODO list ;)
since I'm thinking of making some nut repositories, following the
creation and adoption of a NUT Packaging Standard, I'll address this
more cleanly at that time.
For the moment, I've simply commented out the ref.

thanks for your report,
