check out the source from the GNU cvs repository,
change into the top-level directory,
type "./configure --prefix ~/local",
type "make bootstrap",
type "make install" (optional).
look at INSTALL.CVS for more info.
this process is not restricted to Debian Sarge.
i use it myself (w/o installing -- instead i do:
"cd ~/bin ; ln -s ~/build/GNU/emacs/src/emacs bloody-emacs"
and use "bloody-emacs").
i used to be afraid of wandering outside the debian package
system, but that fear has passed playing w/ emacs 22. ymmv.
