I am using the packages from Adrian Bunk, they work great. Add the following to /etc/apt/source.list:
deb http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main deb-src http://people.debian.org/~bunk/debian potato main With this you can then use apt, capt or dselect. (The tools that make me so fond of debian.) I hope this helps.
