I'm glad to hear it works for you.

That might make scponly check for its debugfile in an odd location (eg. /usr/local/etc/scponly/debuglevel) instead of the expected location.  You'll likely want to specify configure arguments that match what debian used, or use only your custom installed version and don't use the deb, but then you might need to modify /etc/shells, etc.

Good luck.
