This was once titled "trying to build X from git on Debian 6.0.6" however the 
essential dependecies and initial falling over on my own face seems to have
been passed.  May as well get specific as each problem occurs. 

All seems to be progressing neatly, however :

Not sure how to provide xsltproc if it isn't in the sources pulled from git. 

Is there a separate repo to pull this from before doing the build ?
