In case you're interested in a 0.9.3 compiled for debian unstable
without SSI, WebDAV and Mail. With AIO, upload progress and upstream
fair.

http://debian.perusio.net (instructions included).

Of course you can grab the source package and build it yourself (YMMV,
I've never tried that -- I run a mixed lenny/squeeze/sid).

HTH,
