Do not use the typo3-site-installer to import existing websites!

You'll have to do some things manually:

- copy the whole directory inside of your webroot (except the typo3_src)
- safe the database as well
- paste both parts on the Debian server
- create a symlink 'typo3_src' which points
  to /var/lib/typo3/typo3_src-verionnummber
- adjust typo3conf/localconf.php (compare graphic settings with the
  localconf.php which is part of the Debian package)

Good luck!
