I should have mentioned the most obvious thing, so Ill add it here.
Compiling from source tarball is fast, clean and troublefree.
On my de-underclocked slug it took less then 10 min to compile.
All the above fluff is just about the .deb precompiled package.
(Dont want to scare the DebianSlug users now would we) 😀
And since I found this in the debian bug db Im guessing my ranting will come to an end soon’ish. I dont understand all the words, but I got the geist of it.

Hi,
since these ITPs have stagnated, and mt-daapd can be compiled against
avahi’s howl compatibility now, I have prepared dfsg-free source
packages and am ready to upload them. If any of the previous ITPers
would like to comaintain this with me, I am quite willing, just contact
me..
Thanks,
