The official debian distribution doesn't support 389: there are some 
extensions like  EPEL repository. The 389 is in one of these named alioth. I'm 
in touch with that guy, but he has few time to maintain.

Somebody forked that debian repo to create Ubuntu packages: the differences 
are in package dependencies like libc & co.

I'm investigating in how to create officially supported package for debian. My 
aim is to create something that would fit both on debian and ubuntu: that 
should manage dependencies and versions.

So I thought that an automatic script repo should fit for all...

I don't think so. The QA procedures are different: ubuntu packages need to be 
gpg-signed by an authorized key and put on one PPA (personal repos).

The debian race may be different...

Today I'll publish on sourceforge Ryan scripts and start working on that...

Keep in touch+Peace,
