One possibility would be to get the source tar package and make your own
debian package from that. I've tried this a few times without a lot of
success, but will persevere (I've read all the debmake documentation, but
still have a few problems). The other would be to compile and install the
software in a "relatively safe" directory such as /usr/local.
