You need not compile the package from the source in a usual way. A
proper way would be to build it using pbuilder or sbuild in a chroot
environment. If you have any problem with one of these packages, feel
free to ask here. I have just checked epcr on my computer (sbuild -d
sid) and the built has finished successfully, so I guess it should work
for you as well.
Great. I followed your suggestion on doing that. I am entering a schroot and
the running a debuild inside there! Thanks :)
By chance I'm stumbling about this sentence of yours (I was a bit
offline-ish last weekend). Please do *not* enter a schroot *manually*
and than run anything. You should either use pbuilder or sbuild. Both
are quite equivalent tools (I prefer pbuilder since I always had trouble
to setup sbuild but may be that's just me) and do everything for you.
