netatalk with encryption libgnutls13 error

So, trying to setup networked time machine on my lenny box, I followed a couple of guides that told me to compile netatalk with ssl enabled:

sudo apt-get build-dep netatalk
sudo apt-get install cracklib2-dev fakeroot libssl-dev
sudo apt-get source netatalk
cd netatalk-2*
sudo DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=ssl dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot

then, once it was done drop down a folder and install all the debs:

cd ..
sudo dpkg -i ./netatalk_2*.deb

but it didn't work, erroring with:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of netatalk:
netatalk depends on libgnutls13 (>= 2.0.4-0); however:
Package libgnutls13 is not installed.

The solution was to use the debi command instead of the dpkg command:

cd netatalk-2.0.3
sudo debi

oh, and dont forget to

echo "netatalk hold" | sudo dpkg --set-selections

here is the rest of the article i followed, with info on the avahi setup and the actual netatalk config
