I'm also against that. But it's been long since I wanted tilemill in Debian :D

I'm not sure that's really easy: I've been in contact with
developmentseed/mapbox guys (mapbox seems to be a subset of developmentseed),
who both develop tilemill *and* bones, and they told me that would've been a
huge task, and I would only get headaches :)
That's why I didn't try further in porting tilemill to bones 2.

I'll try following the lines written in that changelog, let's see if everything
works then.
