Upstream describes Debian as server platform

[Steffen Moeller]

... and ... the boinc-server package can indeed (when the apps directory is kept just as a
pending patch is doing it) just execute the make_project script. I don't think that the
Debian package should do such by its own.

http://boinc.berkeley.edu/trac/wiki/ServerIntro#cookbook-debian40

Somewhere on that page they say that one should always run the very latest version of the
boinc server and not refer to any such thing like subversion tags. Interesting.

Many greetings

Steffen
