We now have 32 and 64bit packages in our testing Community Repo, where they 
will stay while users test the install:

deb  http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/testrepo/  mepis11cr  test 

After a short time, they will be moved to

deb  http://main.mepis-deb.org/mepiscr/repo/  mepis11cr  main non-free 

The packager commented: "The source packages from the debian.gfoss.it 
repository should build just fine on squeeze. It looks like they built their 
squeeze packages on a system with the wheezy libgeos files installed so their 
package depends on them, but the wheezy libgeos is not required to build qgis 
- the squeeze version works just fine."

Hope this helps somebody else
