libstdc++ dependencies but apart from that it works for me.
Yes, it works but... it will litter your nice standard debian filesystem
with foreign directories, such as /opt and friends which are so standard on
red hat, fedora and similar. I suggest (as I did myself) to add a 2.5 step
in which you move files and directories to some decent debian-conforming
place. This also involves minimal editing of the executable scripts, but you
will get a clean, debian-conforming filesystem hierarchy, with no things in
odd places.
