Installing Debian packages without administrator privileges and without messing with other users works. Where I work, the calculation machines have a standard system installed (CentOS...), and the way to update and install software is either to request to the (busy) admins to install an (obsolete) CentOS RPM binary package, or to download the upstream tarball and compile everything in our home directory. Actually, for upgrading a program for which one is not the only user this is the only way to go because global update may expose the work of the other users to new bugs. I admit I never asked for a chroot, but can we use chroots without administrator privileges ?
