What I did is using the breezy packages (downloaded and forced dpkg),  
but the scripts are really weird. Setting

OPTIONS=MEMORY
CACHESIZE=50000

seem not to affect the init.d script, telling me that my partition is  
not supported: it's an XFS filesystem, I know it's not supported but  
I said memory cache, not in /var...

Is seems the only solutions is commenting the lines checking for the  
partition type and using -memcache option... did you solve this way?
