installing .debs in $HOME
Wouldn't it be neat if users without root privileges could just
install packages anyway on their account.
Maybe they could make an entire file tree, (including
/home/nurdsome/home/nurdsome/ ?).
The problem I'm trying to solve is e.g., Dreamhost, where there are 1000
debs installed, but root is not willing to install packages just for one
user's request. So perhaps there could be a way for the user to "install
the debs himself, on his own account", just like he can already "compile
the software himself and install it in $HOME/bin" -- but instead use the
same .deb that root would.
