add this line to your /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://opensource.mgeops.com/stable/debian binary/

Note that "http://opensource.mgeops.com/stable" provides various
native repositories for Debian/Ubuntu and the like, RedHat/Fedora,
Mandriva and SuSE systems.
It currently offers 2.2.0 packages, along with the latest MGE PSP (3.0.6).
