Debian packages
Debian packages have been uploaded to http://debian.koumbit.net/, currently in the "unstable" distribution for safety reasons. Instructions for adding the repository to the apt sources list are available from there also.
Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/koumbit-unstable.list:
deb http://debian.koumbit.net/debian unstable main.. then run apt-get update.
To install aegir, frontend and backend, use the following command:
apt-get install aegirThis will prompt you for the required information and go ahead with the install. If you are running versions previous to squeeze, you will need to manually modify your /etc/sudoers file to add the following line:
aegir ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apache2ctlTroubleshooting the install
The make the install smoother, the install command is run without much debugging information, which can make diagnostics pretty hard. For this there's a special environment variable you can set that will trigger debugging output. Install aegir with this:
env DEBUG=yes apt-get install aegir- Login or register to post comments

On Squeeze, I tried to install aegir2, but have some dependency errors, firstly stating I need hostmaster2 and provision2, then stating I need drush5.5 or greater. I have installed drush5.8 using php-pear package, but apt-get mustn't know about this.
I thought that running 'apt-get install aegir2' would have picked up the correct hostmaster and provision (aegir-provision2 and aegir-hostmaster2), as I think it does for 'apt-get install aegir'.
root@aegir2:~# apt-get install aegir2

@mccrodp: I had a similar experiance, and opend this issue: http://drupal.org/node/1920152
#3
Would it be possible to add "profile" as an option, just like "makefile"?
#4
Sure. It would have to be added to the drush hostmaster-install and possibly hostmaster-migrate commands. Feel free to open an issue. Patches welcome ;)

Thanks to jonpugh @ #32 and #33 for helping me get aegir 1.9 going with a fresh install of Debian Wheezy. The default wheezy version of drush is now too new (v5.x) for aegir 1.x. You need version 4.x, available in squeeze-backports. If you've already tried to install and run into "The drush command '@hostmaster status' could not be found." you must purge aegir and drush before attempting to reinstall with the correct drush version pinned.

I had problem installing aegir2 on debian 7. Warning was
ERROR: Module ssl does not exist!
This can be solved with enabling mod_ssl on your apache2. For my case I needed to create /etc/apache2/mods-available/ssl.load with content
LoadModule ssl_module /usr/lib/apache2/modules/mod_ssl.so
After creating that file and restarting apache enable module sudo a2enmod ssl.
