Nicolas, Yaroslav,

sorry for late reply and for being silent. The debian folder that is in 
the SVN repository is indeed not up to what I did last year. I should 
have published the bootstrap earlier even if it was not final. I have 
posted details of this work on my blog at <http://goo.gl/vx7nq>.

Nicolas, I don't know how different this is to what you started but I 
hope it can help in some way.

If you have further questions, don't hesitate to get in touch. I won't 
have much to say about debian packaging but I can surely help on the 
OpenViBE side :)

I'm very excited that things are moving on for this long time feature 
request.

Very best regards and thank you for your time and commitment to making 
these software available to everyone,
Yann
