Hi Jack,
I did a bit of a hackathon on rosinstall and catkin last night. If you have rosinstall 0.5.26 and catkin 0.3.14 or higher it should work now. The version of rosinstall is now on pypi. And the catkin update has not yet been propogated to the full builds.
To get running in the meantime, while waiting for catking 0.3.14 to propogeate, if you update rosinstall and make the following patch it should work.
The trick is to add a setup-file line to your /opt/ros/fuerte/.rosinstall file so it looks like this:
{{{
- other:
local-name: /opt/ros/fuerte/share/ros
setup-file: /opt/ros/fuerte/setup.sh
- other:
local-name: /opt/ros/fuerte/share
}}}
After you've done that you should be able to call
rosinstalll ~/workspace my_old_style_packages.rosinstall /opt/ros/fuerte
Adding documentation of this is on my shortlist. It'll likely go into the catkin docs.

Should I just give up on rosinstall for now?
