1. Debian (unofficial) packages

ROOT [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/08/msg00056.html provides a direct way to build deb packages from the sources] but is not in Debian main. See [http://cholm.home.cern.ch/cholm/root/debs/ here for some build instructions]. And [http://www.physi.uni-heidelberg.de/~gbrandt/root/non-free/ here] some unofficial prebuild. See also [http://aamorimsrv.fis.fc.ul.pt/ the ?PaiPix distribution as a source of ROOT debs]

2. Licensing issues

[http://root.cern.ch/root/License.html ROOT License]

[http://lists.debian.org/debian-legal/2003/01/msg00278.html Debian legal thread] and [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/08/msg00085.html why] it is never too much to be careful about licenses. Some [http://lists.debian.org/debian-science/2005/08/msg00087.html fix] to the problem seems to be in sight.
