Changing the branch and compiling threw these errors :
https://gist.github.com/svaksha/5082efefc8e4cb4c2478, and the machine
is still on 0.4.3 instead of 0.4.5. Any ideas ? In Ubuntu, I was able
to use both versions but the same technique does not work in Debian.
Its a work machine so I will check the paths tomorrow.

I agree but I was curious - debian is a wee bit stricter than ubuntu
with respect to official packages, so I was wondering if the PPA was
backported (for lack of a better term) between distros as they use the
same package manager.
