Lol, yes, welcome to the new world order.
You are correct -- jobberrunner is the new jobberd. Each user will get its own instance of jobberrunner. Jobbermaster will control them all.
Happily, it's quite easy to run jobberrunner manually: as user X, do 'jobberrunner /home/X/.jobber'
It should be easy enough for you to compile everything with 'make'. In fact, 'make install' should work too.
I can make a deb package for you if needed.
