Thank you! Got it and installed it with no problem (dpkg -i).
However, it has the same problem as the native Etch version:

  See the help for troubleshooting tips

There were no complaints about the library, unless the error is caused
by the etch version of the library.

In the changes file for the latest test version
(bitpim_1.0.6.20080304_i386.deb) there was a note about
something relating to certain motorola phones being fixed, so
maybe that's it, but then someone claims that version 1.0.1 (IIRC)
worked with this phone in Windows...

If you can make an etch backport of the test version, I'll be glad
to test that.  Or you can tell me how to build a package from the
svn tree.  I've downloaded it, but as I posted previously, I can't
make a deb package of any release or the trunk.  I'm obviously new
at packaging, but I can't understand why a file from the tree is making
the procedure fail.  Any other suggestion as to how to either fix or
work around this problem will be welcome.

Thanks!

Augustine
