This is due to recent changes on koha-* scripts. I'll try to fix it today.
Thanks, it seems better now. I decided to start over from scratch because the koha-common package somehow got into a broken, half-installed state that I was unable to fix. I reproduced the provision steps manually in a fresh Jessie VM, so that I could take snapshots of the VM for disaster recovery, and to see exactly where failures might occur. Things went much better this time: I was able to get a gitified Koha installation up and running. But things failed when I tried to start plack using koha-plack. The failure occurred in adjust_paths_dev_install(), in /usr/share/koha/bin/koha-functions.sh, at this line: dev_install=$(xmlstarlet sel -t -v 'yazgfs/config/dev_install' /etc/koha/sites/$instancename/koha-conf.xml) There is no dev_install in my copy of koha-conf.xml, so xmlstarlet returned a non-zero exit status. Because koha-plack has a "set -e" at the top, the script exited immediately and did not start plack.
