Instructions here:

Or get the deb directly package from here:
http://foxoman.googlecode.com/files/pac ... -2_all.deb
Before you get too excited about the idea it has been my experience that alien converted packages don't always work. Usually they have some dependency which is not satisfiable, and if it was satisfiable then a 'native' package would exist and you wouldn't have to convert the package in the first place. YMMV as they say
