a) I would not test a new daemon on a working machine, I would use a separate one. In the case of gnu pop3, it will spin off and consume 99% of your cpu due to poor child management. We (I am one of the developers) are fixing this, but currently it is test quality if not run from inetd. b) if you know what you are doing, compile the packages by hand, fix their install scripts, and remove the conflicts. You are trying to circumvent the norm. Debian is operating on making the easy case easy. 90+% of our users want to just install a package and go.
