Rebuild a Debian package from source
In some rare cases I need to debug some networking protocols and my target of interest is NTP. I am debugging an issue where (maybe) NTP sets the current time backwards about two hours. My first candidate to look deeper is ntpd. But what do I see… debugging option is disabled in the Debian squeeze package of ntp. WTF?! – the only nice way to do useful debugging without wireshark. The good thing is that Ubuntu had the same miss-configuration and got it fixed....
