Diaspora Package Testing
This is very early version of diaspora package and not recommended for production yet.
Setup Debian Unstable environment
You have to setup a debian unstable system (you could setup it as a virtual machine if you want). You'll have to install debian testing from debian.org and then upgrade to unstable.
You can also use pbuilder to setup a debian unstable environment
# pbuilder create # pbuilder login
Enable experimental suite and install packages from there
Once you have debian unstable, enable experimental repo.
# echo deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian experimental main >>/etc/apt/sources.list # apt-get update
Install the following packages from experimental
# aptitude -t experimental install ruby-compass-rails ruby-handlebars-assets \ ruby-rails-i18n ruby-redcarpet ruby-omniauth ruby-typhoeus ruby-gon \ ruby-rack-piwik ruby-rack-ssl ruby-ethon ruby-excon
List of packages you need are here
Enable diaspora unreleased repo and install diaspora
Enable diaspora-unreleased repository

Verify bundler can see all dependencies
Go to /usr/share/diaspora
# cd /usr/share/diaspora # bundle install --local
There is more work to do.
See below for the team effort to package the dependencies of Diaspora and Diaspora itself for Debian.
