If you already have the correct depends, just download it and install
with dpkg.
Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libpaperg, libpng2 (>= 1.0.12), xlibs (>>
4.1.0), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4), gs-common
If not, you might be able to build a package from the Debian source
package. You will need to put the sarge source in
/etc/apt/sources.list and run 'apt-get build-dep gs-aladdin ; apt-get
-b source gs-aladdin ; dpkg -i gs-aladdin*deb'
