Comment(by helsene):

 I've tried the README.debian instructions, they require some extra
 tinkering to get them going. Installing per the instructions requires
 'tcl' >=8.5, the dependency check fails even when 'tcl8.5-dev' is
 installed as the 'tcl' package either refers to 8.4 or is not installed.
 'tcl' needs to be pulled from wheezy for the README.debian instructions to
 proceed; but that's a separate issue.

 The 'debuild -i -uc -us -b' step in README.debian fails when it tries to
 run 'mkdir -p /usr/lib/bin' of all things.

 {{{
 /usr/bin/make real-install
 make[2]: Entering directory `/home/helsene/src/g7_trunk'
 mkdir -p -m 755 /home/helsene/src/g7_trunk/debian/tmp/usr/lib/grass70
 mkdir -p -m 755 /usr/lib/bin
 mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/lib/bin': Permission denied
 make[2]: *** [/usr/lib/bin] Error 1
 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/helsene/src/g7_trunk'
 make[1]: *** [install] Error 2
 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/helsene/src/g7_trunk'

 status 2
 debuild: fatal error at line 1325:

 }}}

 So far, two methods of compiling 7.0 for a multi-user Debian Squeeze
 install are not working with the given instructions. This 'debuild' error
 should probably be split into its own ticket depending on where the error
 lies ('make real-install' or the debian packaging git repo's configs). I
 don't know enough about the install scripts to judge that.
