How would you recommend I get around the initial updates > of several hundred MB? I'm still with 3.0r0. The several hundred mb updates are because wxGTK2.4 is now compiled with g++-3.2 and depends on everything that was compiled with that as well. What you can do is download the source using apt-get source ... and then get the depends using apt-get build-dep ... then go into the directory and run fakeroot debian/rules binary (I think) then the deb you want will be in ..
