Fixes for gitosis installation

[Chris Douglas]

I went to setup a new server today and noticed that gitosis has been
commented out.

I found that if I changed the install_deps task to python-dev it all
worked fine.

task :install_deps do
apt.install( {:base => %w(python-setuptools python-
dev)}, :stable )
end

I've not been using gitosis for some time and commented out the recipes because they were broken.

Demands on my time have meant that I'm only maintaining the features I use. I'm concerned about code rot, especially with new versions of things (like nginx) and have been considering deprecating some of the recipes (they can always be re-enabled by users who fork deprec).

I still find deprec really useful for setting up new accounts, installing software that needs to be compiled from source, and other tasks.

Lately I've not been using it to install a Rails stack as you can do that with four shell commands. I'm considering rewriting the rails setup in deprec to simplify it however I don't want to break it for existing users. I need to give some thought to the best way to approach the change.
