Comment 5 for bug 589566

I've looked at the deb2maverick.patch and run into a couple of issues:

1. The upstart job is actually not included in the binary packages: there is a line in the debian/rules file that deletes the upstart file in the clean target.
2. There is a missing dependency on libmozjs.so:

  mathiaz@t-mongodb:~$ sudo start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/mongodb.pid --make-pidfile --chuid mongodb --exec /usr/bin/mongod -- --dbpath /var/lib/mongodb --logpath /var/log/mongodb/mongodb.log --config /etc/mongodb.conf run/usr/bin/mongod: error while loading shared libraries: libmozjs.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I'd suggest to also install the binary packages in a base install to make sure they work correctly. Testing upgrade is also important by installing the current version from the archive and trying to upgrade to the newly build packages.

3. The latest version of Debian is 1.4.3-2 (a minor update).
