To get the sources, you can do an "apt-get source crossfire-server", then cd into the directory created and do a "./configure; make; make install". I also suggest first removing the installed Debian package, to avoid clashes between both.

I can wait, I did find the the person who maintains the package when I 
was asking in the IRC room and he said he would have it fixed. He also 
told me about sending the reportbug.  I was thinking  that "plugins" 
where extras . I sure am happy  to find out that  the debian package 
will install everything. That is why I picked Debian for my first 
venture in to Linux,  it sure makes it easy in add/update programs.

I do have one other issue now. I have one player I use just for DM. How 
ever when I log him off the server crashes every time and I have to go 
restart it. Is there an easy was to delete that one? I tried to just 
quit the player but it does not delete it.
