Right. *.deb is purely for binaries. There are source debs too (?
*.deb.src) which can be installed using APT/dpkg and even auto built for
you.

I was running 2.2.19pre17 (slightly earlier than yours) with versions
5.99, 6.0a1 and 6.0b4. All of which worked when compiled from source.
The only problem I had was with getting the right headers. The build
process kept complaining about it so I ended up compiling a new kernel
to make 100% sure the kernel headers were the same. Prepackaged ones
may work too.
When you get further into it I would highly suggest moving to Woody
(testing) as there are a lot more fun things to play with but you need
to be somewhat prepared for the odd breakages that may require
backtracking packages.
Good Luck.
