Can't do that!  Here's what I do:


$ cd ~/opt
$ apt-cache show zlib1g
Package: zlib1g
...
Filename: pool/main/z/zlib/zlib1g_1.2.3.3.dfsg-12_amd64.deb
...

$ wget http://ftp.debian.org/pool/main/z/zlib/zlib1g_1.2.3.3.dfsg-12_amd64.deb

$ ar x zlib1g_1.2.3.3.dfsg-12_amd64.deb && tar zxf data.tar.gz

$ find usr/
usr/
usr/share
usr/share/doc
usr/share/doc/zlib1g
usr/share/doc/zlib1g/changelog.gz
usr/share/doc/zlib1g/copyright
usr/share/doc/zlib1g/changelog.Debian.gz
usr/lib
usr/lib/libz.so.1.2.3.3
usr/lib/libz.so.1


In your ~/.bash_profile, set the following
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/opt/usr/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=~/opt/bin:~/opt/usr/bin:$PATH
