Well, turns out I was one step shy of getting there, so it was not that
difficult. 

I have created ardour-beta11-2 packages that coexist with the latest
ardour release. What I did is install the whole ardour tree in:
  /opt/ardour-beta11-2/
so the executable will be in:
  /opt/ardour-beta11-2/bin/ardour

I tested it briefly and seems to work, getting the configuration files
from the proper placey (ou may have to rename the ~/.ardour
configuration directory). 

To install "apt-get update" and then:
  apt-get install ardour-beta11-2
