Hello all. New to Debian, and have a few questions. When installing software from source: what is the official/suggested way of doing this in Debian? Obviously, /usr/local is under my control according to the FHS. But is there a suggested way of handling this on a Debian system? Also, does it make a difference if there is a dpkg available for said software? My first thought is to do a "./configure --prefix=/usr/local" but thought I'd check with you Deb-Gurus first. :)
