Installing a set of woody libs, independently from rest of system

[Mark M <markrmau@yahoo.com.au>]

Hi All,

(please cc me if possible)

What would be the best way to install woody libs
on an unstable system to keep some legacy software 
(no source) going.

I plan to unar / untar the debs and stick 
them in /opt/usr/lib, and point LD_LIBRARY_PATH
in the right direction.

Since this is kdelibs3, this involves a bit of
work to unravel the dependencies.

Is there a better way with apt?

Thanks,
Mark.
