Debian Hint #13: If you don't like the default options used in a Debian package, you can download the source and build a version which uses the options you prefer. See http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-pkg_basics.html (sections 6.13 and 6.14) for more information. However, bear in mind that most options in most packages can be configured at runtime, and do not require recompiling the package.
