Upon reading the docs (sorry, should have done that the first time), just dumping Julia in any directory and running it from there works fine. You can put it in PATH or make a symlink that is already there. Also, you can use the git repo, checkout release-0.4, compile, and do the same. Given how easy this is, and how Julia produces no clutter, I am not sure that a Debian package justifies the effort. Best, Tamas
