Unfortunately: you don't. You have to rebuild bacula as a whole to get
that part.

Technically, yes.

You have to get the Debian source package for bacula, change
"--disable-s3" in its debian/rules file to "--with-s3" and let it build
the packages. You won't *use* the packages in the end but you need the
infrastructure this step creates.

Then, from the base directory of the sources do

  make DESTDIR=/tmp -C src/stored install-cloud

That should create /tmp/usr/lib/bacula/bacula-sd-cloud-driver.so which can
then manually copy to your SDs.

Because this is completely outside of the package, you need to maintain
and update that driver manually.
