Thanks a lot for the script!
Two notes:

  • I tracked down the packages myself as they were not gettable on those links anymore.
  • I was scratching my head for a while about an event.h compile error, but it turned out to be a conflict between the already installed libevent I had on Debian 6 and the one installed by this script.
    Simply purging all libevent related installs solved this.
    // Do note, however, that this also uninstalls the NFS sharing services (I do not understand why), so you might have to reconfigure that if you are using it.

Thanks again, my byobu+tmux combo wasn't working very well on an aging Debian system, and now it is just perfect! =)

libncurses-dev doesn't seem to be available for wheezy anymore :(
