Did you try the packages from ftp.debian.org (or backports.org)?
I found two problems with the packages (I used the package source code from ftp.debian.org and built it on my own for sarge and etch using dpkg-buildpackage):
1.) On the host which runs the hobbit server, /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit-client gets installed, which conflicts with /etc/logrotate.d/hobbit.
2.) When I install a hobbit-client .deb for the first time, the installer asks for the server's address and the client hostname, but it forgets those values immediately. /etc/default/hobbit-client always contains HOBBITSERVERS="127.0.0.1" and a guessed CLIENTHOSTNAME. Running "dpkg-reconfigure hobbit-client" after the initial installation fixes this. (It asks again for both values.)
