Hi,

I can confirm that the getdeb package doesn't work on intrepid.
I just built a x86 package for intrepid (my AMD64 install is still
running hardy), which you can grab here:
http://crfb.univ-mrs.fr/~naldi/referencer_1.1.5-0_i386.deb
(I've been procrastinating learning proper packaging for month, I'll
put it on PPA if I ever take the time to learn how to use it...)

it builds fine on intrepid, making your own package is pretty easy
thanx to apt-get source:

* get and extract referencer source
* install some helper tools: apt-get install dpkg-dev fakeroot
* get the source of the current debian package: apt-get source referencer
* get build-depends: the command bellow or: apt-get build-dep referencer
* copy the "debian" directory of the debian source package into the
latest version
* update debian/changelog to get proper version number
* fakeroot debian/rules binary

Best regards
