You could try downloading the source package for gdal and modifying the debian/rules file to add the necessary --with-FileGDB and --with-MRSID=... lines. Installing the modified gdal with the package manager should allow it to be used with the stable QGIS from the ubuntuGIS repo and the development version from debian-nightly. I've never actually done this with ubuntu/debian but I do the equivalent on Arch Linux. For ubuntu you would do something like:
mkdir ~/build cd ~/build sudo apt-get build-dep gdal apt-get source gdal cd gdal-1.10.0 # or whatever directory it unpacks... nano debian/rules ##edit file to include the necessary --with-FileGDB and --with-MrSID lines and cd back to the main package directory and build the package: cd .. dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc -nc install the packages with something along the lines of sudo dpkg -i gdal* Assuming that worked, you would then probably want to put a hold on gdal so it doesn't get updated and lose your customizations. disclaimer: I have never tried this with ubuntu, but that appears to be the general flow from a little bit of googling.
