I'll see what I can find. I am thinking that the best thing for me to do would 
be to see if I can replicate the build process you are performing right now, 
and then see what can be done differently.

Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of the scripts that you use for 
the deb building process? I could also set up a machine (real or virtual) with 
sid and work on this issue.

No, stable has 2.2.4. For this reason I access the sid repos for fpc only.
