Historically it has been my experience that the package maintainer for
Bacula in Debian has only packaged release code. Looking at
http://packages.qa.debian.org/b/bacula.html shows that the unstable
version (2.4.4-1) is the same as Lenny (testing). There would be no way
to find a newer version on an official Debian mirror. Someone may have
Debs that they built on their own mirror that you could add to apt
sources, but I don't know of any. If you can build your own debs then
install them with deb -I as mentioned before. If you make your version
number higher than what is in apt then it will keep it installed until a
higher version comes out. (you could make it 2.9 so that when 3.0 comes
out it will automatically install the official Debian packages). The
other option is to give it a different package name (myBacula) and make
it conflict with Bacula, when the new version comes out then you will
have to force install the one from Debian.

Thank you Kern for responding. I think you are saying if I can find the
right Debian "test" or "development" repository I will have a working
version of bacula. I will look around.
I have been trying to build bacula with encryption support, which seems
to work. I have so far failed at getting the debian package management
to install my packages instead of the main repositories. When I
understand that I will will know more about debian repository
management. Perhaps I will get their test repositories to work before
my test repositories.
