My Mint compiled binary package
seems to run on Debian (with the exception of that doubling bug). The packages are built using one of the oldest versions of Mint/glibc/gcc I can get Sigil to compile with (gcc 4.6.1) in the hopes of supporting the widest (and oldest) range of debian/ubuntu systems out there.

That would definitely be the case if the Debian distros in question had an older version of glibc/gcc than my build environments, but that doesn't seem to be the case here. I build with gcc 4.6.1 and the Wheezy system I tested on had gcc 4.7.2. But that seems to be moot anyway, as building Sigil from scratch on the Debian system exhibited the same "doubling" issues.
