You could just add Opera's Debian repository to you sources.lst, then
installing (and updating) Opera will work like any Debian package.

 Alternatively, if anyone can suggest a better method on how to achieve that
 would be great.
 

gdebi does this:

PS: Opera has Debian repo:
http://deb.opera.com/

If it's just opera: why not try adding the correct entry to your
sources.list?

My bad...I didn't realize opera has a Debian repository..That
should certainly solve the problem...

Thanks for all your inputs...
