Debian users like all other Linux users can download a tarball and go through ./configure make make install This gives you maximum choice of versions, at the cost of violating the Debian packaging protocols. I use Slackware, but when I need a new or older version of some program my first stop is NOT the Slackware site. There are more/better choices elsewhere.
