hmmm, it would seem I never committed the DebianGIS patch to fix the build
dir from the build-server's value to the end-user's installed value:

sudo sed -i -e 's+^\(GRASS_HOME[ ]*=\) /build/.*+\1 ${INST_DIR}+' \
       -e 's+^\(RUN_GISBASE[ ]*=\) /build/.*+\1 ${INST_DIR}+' \
       /usr/lib/grass64/include/Make/Platform.make


But even after fixing that I notice there is still more to do before it
will work properly on a system without a full source install. I've just
committed a couple fixes to devbr6; I'll write more about that on the
grass-dev mailing list.

...
I've got Ubuntu 10.04 LTS  32bit installed in a virtual machine, so for
now I'll just build r.fuzzy for you by hand and send you the executable.
