Sorry, but the Planet CCRMA packages only work (so far) on top of the
RedHat distribution... (7.3, 8.0, 9 and soon Fedora Core 1) They are rpm
packages which are completely alien to Debian (the apt I'm using is "apt
for rpm", same as Debian's but using rpm packages at the back end
instead of .deb packages). 

If you are interested in debian and multimedia you should take a look at
Demudi, which is build for Debian users, see the pointers in
http://www.agnula.org/. 

Sorry for the confusion but I think the RedHat requirement is stated at
the very beginning of the pages.
