I am surprised to see that with Debian installation you require /usr/local direc
tory. I am new to Debian (not to LInux), have a 1.3 installed and my /usr/local 
is completly empty. I believe that dpkg installs everything in /usr/lib. Is ther
e a way, using dpkg, to install certain packages in /usr/local ?

Thanks,
