As said before, those files are out-of-date. I've just uploaded new
source files to my repository, they should work as expected.

Well, currently, you're working on 2.4.33pre. However, in the Debian
version numbering:
    2.4.33pre > 2.4.33

So, if I would pick "2.4.33pre" as my package version, Debian doesn't
think the upcoming 2.4.33 is newer. Of course, this problem will be
tackled soon when Debian chooses a new package naming scheme. Until
then, there's an unwritten rule to use the "2.4.32+2.4.33pre" kind of
numbering for beta/pre versions.

I don't know if I've answered this before. But yes, this is OK, the
example configuration is installed under the documentation, which is
default in Debian.

Whatever, doesn't matter anymore.
