Of cource, but I asked for where. I can't find a saying "compile from
the source", just that you build the package, and the source code is
available. As I see it, you could use a binary tarball and a source
tarball, and just copy some files. I also see that the intention is
that you should compile it on Debian, but it only says "build the
package". But this is getting academic.
See following post for real oppinions.
