One way to overcome this is recompiling (though it's not necessary on
Feisty). Recompiling a Debian package is very easy. You just download
the three source files: *.orig.tar.gz, *.diff.gz and *.dsc, then
unpack with: 

$ dpkg-source -x packagename.dsc

"cd" into the new directory and recomile with e.g.

$ dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc

After that you get a *.deb that you can install as usual.

Ciao
