Ircd-Hybrid with PAM/SSL
Firstly the code we're using comes from diamond in UL. Secondly, unix_chkpwd in libpam-modules has to be hacked so that uid 516 (irc) can check anyones password.

Lingua::EN::Squeeze
Used dh-make-perl to make a .deb, had to use version 2003.1003 as the latest version had dependancies on perl stuff that was newer than Sarge

RAID5 Array Monitoring
We use a i386 chroot to hold the .rpm which has been passed through alien to make it a .deb and then installed.
