Hmmmm...yes and no. Since Debian is based around binary packages (at least for end users, thought this is changing with the introduction of apt-build), you can't really play around with compile time options much. The solution has been to create different packages with different options (e.g. apache and apache-ssl) or to use loadable modules (e.g. php with the million php-bleh modules). If you want to build your own packages with different compile time options, then Debian has simplified that for you too. Use the normal 'apt-get source packagename' method, but modify the debian/rules file before you build. Somewhere in the build target it calls ./configure; you can just edit the options to suit, then rebuild. If you really want to be neat about it, also modify the Build-Deps in debian/control so that it installs the needed extra header files... > Kinda interesting question...
