The issue was purely dmd.conf as the error was not with installing the Deb.

Andy Elvey, you should be able to fix it with this, but if you continue to have problems you can build your own deb fairly simply with ddebber:

http://dsource.org/projects/ddebber/wiki

The following programs will be required to run it:

$ sudo aptitude install build-essential unzip wget html2text 

Then run the program like so:

$ ./dmddebber -d -v 2.049

I can not distribute build deb packages.
