So I missed this bug report when I installed this package moments ago
and unfortunatly rolled my own init.d script.

It switches users to "sobby" and could support running multiple sessions
in parallel with some tweaking. Instructions for using the script are
available at:

https://wiki.koumbit.net/ObbyServer#Original_setup

I recommend that the sobby user be created in the postinst script.
Examples on how to that are available in the monkeysphere or
aegir-provision packages (that I know of).

I hope this script can resolved the issues noted by the package
maintainer and that this can be part of the package for the future
releases.

Thanks,
