<div>I’d prefer to not custom roll a distribution, but rather seek community assistance in pushing these bugs through. However due to time constraints, I probably will roll one, even if it is probably not the best way to roll one (<a title="https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages_-_The_Easy_Way" href="https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages_-_The_Easy_Way">https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Building_Debian_Packages_-_The_Easy_Way</a>).</div>
