Hi Paolo,

Here are some simple instructions for Debian 6.0 (squeeze):
http://trac.osgeo.org/postgis/wiki/UsersWikiPostGIS20Debian60src

It looks like you still need to compile GEOS for PostGIS 2.0, since
they are still packaging old versions for Debian sid. Mind you, the
way these instructions work, the "make test" will fail on PostGIS 2.0
configured --with-raster, as there will be a second GEOS installed as
a dependency for the libgdal-dev package.
