My fault, Dan wrote all the good parts of that announcement and when I
copied it and finished it I wasn't in the right groove with it.

Probably won't see official debian server packages for a while, but
the Ubuntu packages work alright AFAICT.

I just used these commands to get debs on my Debian Wheezy VM and they
worked okay:

wget -O chef-server.deb
'http://www.opscode.com/chef/download-server?p=ubuntu&pv=12.04&m=x86_64&v=latest&prerelease=true&nightlies=true'
sudo dpkg -i chef-server.deb
sudo apt-get remove apache2 && sudo killall apache2 # I had an issue
with this getting in the way :P
sudo chef-server-ctl reconfigure

# Get the Debian stable Omnibus Client
wget -O chef.deb
'https://www.opscode.com/chef/download?v=&p=debian&pv=6&m=x86_64'
# set chef_server_url to https://localhost
sudo cp /etc/chef-server/chef-validator.pem /etc/chef/validation.pem
sudo chef-client
