What do you mean: not the FULL debian system installed, is that: you got the system installed, but not all packages, or you don't have it installed at all or something else?
When you got debian installed (even if you have only the base system), you can use dpkg to install the package. There are very few .deb's that actually contain the sources (AFAIK only pine), the .deb's contain the binaries.
