I had a very similar problem a few years ago.  SoX will convert those mp3s to files you can edit (I convert to flac and edit with audacity), stick the edited files all together, and turn that big file back into am mp3.  Works real good (CLI, not GUI).  Going through flac keeps the metadata.

Also, audacity is in the Debian repositories.  So is SoX.
