    Sometimes there are reasons to compile packagese, also on debian
    machines!


    However, compiling and installing a package under debian is as
    simple as installing binaries without breaking the whole
    installation system (very powerful indeed).


    See
        apt-get -b source ....
        apt-get build-dep ...
        dpkg-buildpackage -b
    and the new
        apt-build


    Cheers,
    a.
