I tested the Debian installation. I choosed a desktop-full and everything is
OK with the default rosinstall command.

I tried to go further with a "rosmake -a --rosdep-install" And I have some
failures during the rosdep phase :
_ nvidia_cg_tookit is a pain since I have to activate the "contrib" apt
repository just for it ...
_ opencv 2.3 is not correctly setup in ros/vision_opencv/rosdep.yaml. The
problem is that the debian package doesn't have the same name and is not
available in this version see :
http://packages.debian.org/source/squeeze/opencv. Does this will be ok ?
http://packages.debian.org/squeeze/libcv-dev
_ An error that I can't understand :

Failed to find rosdep yaml for package gazebo_worlds on OS:debian
version:squeeze
Executing script below with cwd=/tmp
{{{
#!/bin/bash
set -o errexit
dpkg-query -W -f='${Package} ${Status}\n' yaml-cpp-sourcedep 2>&1 | awk '{\
if ($4 =="installed")
  exit 0
else
  print "yaml-cpp-sourcedep not installed"
  exit 1}'

}}}

BTW something seems to have change in the rosdep pass, since I have to say Y
every time. A shorter option like "-y" would be great instead of
--rosdep-yes.

I must say anyway that progress since cturtle are huge :)
