I have updated diaspora installer package to install 0.5.3.0 release.

Instructions to setup my personal repo and install diaspora is here
https://people.debian.org/~praveen/diaspora-jessie/README

Though I have tested it well, it has not received wide testing and I'd
welcome more people to test and report any issues you fine.

Note: Use bugs.debian.org to report any issues.

This package use bundler to install dependencies (there is also another
package that uses debian package manager apt for dependencies). It
configures postgresql and nginx.

Only manual step required is setting up ssl ceritifcates.

Known issues:
init script and handling start/stop needs more fine tuning.
