I don't believe the build has been happening nightly for a long time.

So I did what I did last time, which was manually unpack the deb and install the
files so I could get it working.  Of course I didn't run upgradeprovision,
because that still fails, but at least my server is running.  I'm not sure
upgradeprovision would run anyway because I a slave samba server and last time I
tried it complained about that, but provided no easy way of demoting that server
so the provisioning could proceed.
