Optimize Debian packages for your system

Introduction

Since the arrival of the very first versions of Gentoo, some people
have announced that "Debian is good, but that's not optimized for
[distribution in which you run make all the time]". And this is wrong,
you are free to recompile software you use on Debian, using the apt
system. Downloading a tarball, uncompressing it, running configure
scripts and make install, is an easy task for every Linux user, but
this is not adapted for the Debian package management system. [2]Stow
was a way which worked without too much effort, but compiled programs
were not really integrated in the apt dependancies. The ultimate
solution is to use apt-build to recompile a software already packaged
for Debian.
