I wanted to have a 3.5-rc5 kernel for testing. And it did compile in about 10 minutes here. ;) There is no need to tough, if you happy with packages just enjoy the work of the Debian packagers. I do not compile kernels for my older laptops at the moment. I compiled Freedroid RPG from SVN to try out new stuff. And Supertuxkart cause controller support had a bug in the version packaged in Debian back then. Basically for me usually its new not yet packaged upstream versions or software not packaged at all at the moment I want to try it. One reason for newer version are fixed bugs. I did not yet compile a complete KDE or so, but some individual applications. Sometimes I update an existing debian package for my own personal use and possibly upload it somewhere for others to try it out. That was what I did with Digikam at some time.
