Hi Mark,
This is the right place.

The problem you are having is that squeeze isn't yet released.  And we 
only have partial coverage of squeeze in our automatic dependency 
installation methods.

You can finish the install by running with the -n option.  You will then 
need to manually install the listed dependencies.  Then a "rosmake 
--no-rosdep rostest" will get you started.

After that I would suggest that you manually install the dependencies 
manually checking a package using rosdep depdb or satisfy commands to 
see the errors.  Then use rosmake --no-rosdep to compile after manually 
resolving the dependencies.

There used to be a way to override the OS detection from the command 
line but that seems to have been lost in the last rewrite.  I've 
ticketed it to be replaced https://code.ros.org/trac/ros/ticket/2814
