Greetings Kevin:

Here is what I use for setiatome:  dpkg -l setiathome
ii  setiathome     3.03-5         SETI@Home Client (install package)
The debian installer fetches the binary package and globally installs it.  
All I need to do is make a setiathome directory in my home directory and then 
move there to start it.  I have never had to adjust permissions of any files 
are executables.

On my remote box, I made a short script called seti that starts setiathome 
with my preferred command arguments.
