Don't know, depends. You could try it and see.

Sorry, for some reason I was thinking of needing a later package than the one available in Debian. So if you want to compile a package which isn't available in Debian, you still won't need a "deb-src" entry, you will only need to install any xxx-dev packages, where xxx is any package required to satisfy the build dependency. -- "If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." --- Malcolm X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
