There were a nice post by a debian developer Manoj Srivastava on this issue. He explained "afio" is the only right way. I copied it to my web page: http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick2/ch-tips.en.html#s-ss-cp If link is broken, start from http://qref.sourceforge.net/quick2/ I may be moving these documents to Debian site (DDP) soon.
