Ubuntu has 'apt' but installing anything that is not on the Ubuntu 
repositories (either the supported ones or the "universe" unsupported ones) 
will probably not run, or even corupt your installation. In other words: 
Ubuntu "debian" packages are not compatible with "normal" debian packages - 
or at least there is no guaranty that they are.

AFAIK compiling the sources should work
