laid to rest: both Raspbian Jessie and Kubuntu 15.10 build and run xastir
2.0.7 from CVS by those scripts, with full graphics and OSMs. Going
further, Debian 8 (Jessie) does too. Haven't tested for
backwards-compatibility though, so a report on recent build with new
scripts on older (Wheezy, <=15.04) systems might be worthwhile.

Thanks for the report!  Once the graphicsmagick/webp issue was identified
it was relatively easy to get the scripts updated.  Given Wheezy is "older
than stable", I probably won't bother with it.
