==============
A new version of one of my favorite programs was just released today: PDF Edit 0.4.1 !!! I'm so happy I built a DEB for you all. For those of you who are smart enough not to trust my skills, here's a set of instructions to build PDF Edit on Debian Lenny:
First, I installed the packages necessary to build PDF Editor.
# apt-get install dh-make libboost-dev libboost-iostreams-dev
Then, I downloaded the tarball from Sourceforge and extracted the files:
$ tar -zxf pdfedit_0.4.1.tar.gz
Next, I entered the pdfedit-0.4.1/ directory and ran dh_make
$ cd pdfedit-0.4.1/
$ dh_make --createorig
I chose to create a single binary. After running dh_make, I ran:
$ export QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
$ dpkg-buildpackage
That created the DEB package that I installed with:
# dpkg -i pdfedit_0.4.1-1_i386.deb
Enjoy!,

EDIT: This post originally contained the following instructions, which were not necessary when I built a DEB for Etch:
