Sorry for the late reply, but I'm on holiday at the moment and am only
allowed very few moments online.

Ok, then try this repository:

http://ftp.schooltool.org/schooltool/archives/debian

That should definitely have the tarballs, the script we used to re-build
the packages for feisty is probably missing the "-us -uc" options for
dpkg-buildpaackage.

The packages in both repositories should be identical.

Well, the packages are there, hopefully you will just have to upload
them. Please shout if you find any further issues!
