Although it's fine to know how to build debs for lame there is a simpler solution: add deb http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main deb-src http://marillat.free.fr/ unstable main to your /etc/apt/sources.list (replace "unstable" with whatever debian-version you're using). Then do a "dselect update" and you have plenty nice packages concerning mp3 on your fingertips. Make sure that it's legal for you to use these packages in your country (the server is in france, afaik it's pretty legal there, as well as here in germany). Keep in mind that those packages are not officially supported by the debian distribution, as Christian Marililat is an official debian developer, they are - as far as I can tell - of good quality nevertheless. (You find these and other unofficial apt sources in the "unofficial apt sources" section of www.debianplanet.org).
