Debian's debuild requires a file named TODO nowadays. I need to run
'touch TODO' before debuild. Could we satisfy them somehow?

In the documentation I was missing something about the certificates
needed, maybe along the lines

    Simply running 'make cert' in the csync2 source directory will
    create and install a self-signed SSL certificate for you.
    Alternatively, if you have no source around, run the following
    commands:

  openssl genrsa -out /etc/csync2_ssl_key.pem 1024
  yes '' | openssl req -new -key /etc/csync2_ssl_key.pem -out /etc/csync2_ssl_cert.csr
  openssl x509 -req -days 600 -in /etc/csync2_ssl_cert.csr -signkey /etc/csync2_ssl_key.pem -out /etc/csync2_ssl_cert.pem

    You have to do that on each host you're running csync2 on. When
    servers are talking with each other fr the first time, they add
    each other to the database.

Of course it may well be that y suggested records are wrong and there
are better alternatives. In that case, please fix:)

Thanks,
