Automatic install on Debian
Debian packages have been uploaded to http://debian.koumbit.net/, currently in the "unstable" distribution during the test period. We eventually want to upload those packages to the official archives, but this will take some adaptation and time to sponsor the packages in.
Those are the installation instructions that are recommended on Debian. If you wish to install Debian packages over an existing manual install, it's possible, see the Debian upgrade procedures.
1. Adding the Koumbit repositories
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.
2. Adding the archive key to your keyring
This archive self-signs packages uploaded to it (and packages uploaded are verified against a whitelist of trusted uploaders) using OpenPGP (GnuPG, to be more precise).
The key of the archive is in the key.asc file. You should add the key using something like this:
wget http://debian.koumbit.net/debian/key.asc
apt-key add key.asc
apt-get update3. Adding backports
You should also configure backports repositories, for Drush. 4.4 is now in Debian unstable, wheezy, squeeze-backports and Ubuntu Natty.
So if you are running Debian wheezy or later, or Ubuntu Natty or later, you don't need to do anything here. If you are running Debian Squeeze, add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list :
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ squeeze-backports mainIf you are running Debian lenny or Ubuntu Maverick or Ubuntu versions before Lucid, we recommend downloading and installing the Drush package manually.
For users in Ubuntu LTS (Lucid 10.04), you can instead use Brian Mercer's PPA (Personal Package Archive) using the following command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:brianmercer/drush-
(Ubuntu synced Drush 4.4 in Natty Narwhal 11.04, which should be released by the end of april, but we're still looking for a Ubuntu MOTU to handle the backporting on the Ubuntu side of things. See the followup for the backport.)
4. Manual sudo configuration
If you are running sudo versions previous to 1.7.2p1-1 (in Debian squeeze and Ubuntu Lucid), you will need to manually modify your /etc/sudoers file to add the following line:
aegir ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/apache2ctl5. Installing Aegir
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.
6. Troubleshooting the install
To 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 aegirYou can build your own Debian packages from our repositories using those instructions.

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 ;)
#5
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.
