Hi, there is no problem to build QGIS on Lenny, I am building trunk
version few times per week.

If You have all dependencies installed do this:
(if not all dependencies satisfied You will be noted when building
package. Check ' debian/control.lenny' file for the list of
dependencies)

1. download sources from svn
2. edit debian/changelog file. Change distribution to 'lenny' in top
line (in trunk usually change 'UNRELEASED' to 'lenny').
3. build Debian package using 'debuild -us -uc -d'
4. install resulting deb files
