[support] Broken sources for Homeguy on site

[Martin Andre]

Hi Stuart,

Thanks for the fixes. I'll update the package on the website to include 
your fixes, and will take the opportunity to refresh a bit the content 
of homeguy so it builds on Jaunty (right now, it is tested against gutsy 
which is quite old).

Martin
