Have a look at http://www.debian.org/~jules/gnome-stage-2, but be aware
that these packages are not yet in the distribution for a reason (they
will be moved once they're better tested). You can add this to
sources.list to get them with Apt:
deb http://www.debian.org/~jules/gnome-stage-2 unstable main
They are probably as good as the RPMs though, just not as good as the
typical Debian package.

Probably a bad idea. :-)
