On the last post I outlined (in Spanish only) how to modify the control file of Ubuntu package of Scratch, I plan to translate to English but in the meantime I also have uploaded the resulting deb and my md5sum of it, works on Debian 6, testing and current Unstable (YMMV).
Of curse if you are not happy using a binary from some one on the net, wait for the full post on English or use some on line translator the basis are finally command line.
