I can report succcessful build, check (with no skipped tests) and
install in Debian squeeze (current stable).

For full disclosure, I had to build libarpack-dev and libqrupdate-dev
from source though (actually backported from debian testing). As far
as I remember, everything else on the system is from Debian stable
main repository.
