To clarify this, I changed the version to "sid" which didn't work.
Changing it to "7.2" (Wheezy) gets it past that check and the mon
installed and running. 
However I'm fully expecting it to fail in subtle ways at some later point.

So I guess this means exactly what I suspected, no supported way by native
Debian distro tools (aka mkcephfs) or the inktank ceph-deploy to create
ceph clusters in Debian sid (testing is still at Argonaut I think).

Hopefully James Page will pipe up at some point. ^.^

Christian
