Hi M,
the first rule of DEBIAN club is to use .debs first!
so, first have you used :
apt-cache search XYZ
to see it is in your current repository list.
If not, check the debian site to see if it is in another version of
debian.
If not, ask here if a debian version exists somewhere else!
if all else fails,
use 'alien'!

PS. there is also a way you can help debian. if you think this software
is important to you, you can ask that some debian developer consider
making a brand new .deb of this software! It may be something other
debian users would want.
