I was naive enough to enstall the Debian version, but it's lacking the patches to make it work with FlightGear, so I had to use apt to pull the Debian sources[1], applied the FlightGear patch [2] file, and rebuilt it with dpkg-build [3]... See "APT HOWTO Chapter 6 - Working with source packages" [4] for more details.
