i don't know about a binary deb, but the source packages are available from your favorite Debian mirror, in the debian/project/experimental directory. 1) download the foo.orig.tar.gz, foo.diff.gz, and foo.dsc files 2) dpkg-source -x foo.dsc 3) cd foo 4) debian/rules binary (as root, or sudone or fakerooted) 5) dpkg -i ../foo.deb
