I think the issue here is that this setup script assumes that it is run
from the source directory (ie, what you'd get if you downloaded their
archive and unpacked it, then run setup_server from inside that source
tree).

It looks like we should either patch or not install setup_server.sh,
since it doesn't work as provided. I'm afraid I won't be able to work on
this for the next couple of weeks.

The instructions on
http://taskwarrior.org/docs/taskserver/configure.html should be valid,
and there are some debian-specific notes in
/usr/share/doc/taskd/README.Debian . You can make a copy of the
pki-generation scripts from /usr/share/taskd/pki . The default location
for the taskd data is /var/lib/taskd .
