[AG-TECH] update - AG3 for Debian/Ubuntu

[Derek Piper]

	Chris,

	You sir, are a star :) Thank you so much for looking into this. I 
noticed too that over the weekend that etch is the new stable release of 
Debian. I hope that won't cause too many problems, not that I'm 
upgrading my Sarge machines just yet.

	Derek
