Small update.

I finally have this package building properly - so the porting is pretty 
much done, I am sure there are bugs though ;)

One thing that is clear now - we may need a debian jessie build slave  - 
as there seem to be conflicts when building this package on our build 
server.

The chroot should take care of things - but it's pulling packages in 
from an incorrect upstream location - so need to dive into that now or 
tomorrow.
