I've done this ever since debian stopped including it and it works fine. I prefer xv's approach to any other single image program I've seen in Linux.
The "world of XV" is at http://www.trilon.com/xv/ and one can download the binary redhat rpm and build a debian package out of it by doing an apt-get install alien and then run alien against the downloaded rpm package. -- Michael Perry | Do or do not.
