Sometimes the binary distribution of the package is configured or
compiled with options that don't suit you. Or it may be compiled for a
more recent release than that which you are using and does not work
for your release. Normally you would then be left on your own to
retrieve the source of the package, configure and compile it, then
install it into /usr/local/. This is then outside of the
Debian package management system, which is just fine. But there are
better solutions. One is to tune a specific source package and build a
Debian package from it. The second is to specify general configuration
options for your system and then rebuild many packages to with these
options.
