ubuntu-users Digest, Vol 19, Issue 290

[Mark Johanson]

Actually my reason for needing it was for:

WallpaperTray https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WallpaperTray

Since version .5 and .5.1 don't have deb packages installation
from source is the only way. (Its what i get for having so many
backgrounds and never being happy with only one for any length
of time. :p )

Everything else I have used/need is in deb so its not been any
problem installing them.

Why would you need it?  (That's completely rhetorical -
obviously, _you_
needed it, but on a Debian-based system, most users will install
binary
packages, so they don't need to compile anything).
