Ok.

Generally whenever you experiment with stuff non-Debian then make sure 
to remember that and mention it when sharing your experiences with 
others - like here but more importantly when filing bugreports: Some 
Debian package maintainers can (rightfully!) get quite upset when after 
spending time debugging a reporting issue realizing that they are - 
arguably - wasting time on something not Debian.  That goes for Armbian, 
Ubuntu and locally compiled packages alike.

Please note that I am *not* saying you should stick to Debian always, 
only that burden should be kept on *you* whenever you don't.

Looking forward to that :-)

I will try remember to test that later - _after_ I progress further on 
section "Debian automated" of our install routines.

Please make sure to make source packages available too, as they seem 
Ubuntu-specific and (in any case) I might want to rebuild.
