Well I haven't kept trace of what I exactly did, but this might relate
to my inexperience building debian packages or obscurely missing
dependancies ;-)

After I failed compiling manually ;-) I then tried to follow your advice
and build a .deb in a more automated way ;-) so I did a « use the 2.2.2
source, "ln -s packaging/debian && debuild -us -uc" » per your advice.

Here it complained about some missing building dependancies which I
installed.

Then I retried "debuild -us -uc" but now it complained about a missing
".orig.tar.gz" tarball.

Then I read the debuild manpage ;-) and tried as suggested in the
example "debuild -i -us -uc -b"

Then it compiled allright, but failed building the package complaining
that a complete directory structure was missing in the dummy
"usr/share/doc/blah/bloh..." where it was trying to move files.

So I created manually the missing destination dirs and restarted the
process, it seemed to work this time and I ended up with a nice set of
2.2.2 .deb packages, which I installed on my system...

...only to discover that the packages were nice but all the binaries
were missing inside : the "nut" package contained barely documentation
files, argh, sigh !

Then I uninstalled and purged the whole damned thing and reinstalled the
previous nice working 2.0.5. Ubuntu Gutsy binary packages :-D

Well, I may have to work a little on Debian packages building :-}
