The current Hesiod distribution is 4.8, not 4.7.3, so you shouldn't have
any trouble with the 4.7.3 -> 4.8 differences. If you want, you should
also be able to apply the various patches that have been contributed for
4.8.

The assumption is correct. There is no way to separate the debug and dump
files (other than judicious use of grep, awk, and friends).

Hesiod doesn't require Moira (aka SMS) to run; SMS provides a useful way
of preparing data for Hesiod.
As Mark Rosenstein pointed out, Moira is currently in the hands of a few
"friendly testers".
