I'm confused... on Gizmoproject.com is a link for a 'bonjour' .deb 
package which is Apple's mDNSResponder code compiled for Debian. (IIRC, 
it's under a BSD or similar license.)

It installs fine under Ubuntu, even builds fine if you can find the 
sources on Linspire's site. (I did it a while back under Hoary.)

So what's the issue?
