You shouldn't need to do anything fancy.

No, that is an old Ubuntu-Lucid-only archive.  All new development takes
place on the internal QuickBuild system due to build time constraints on
the shared Launchpad system.

I have added installation instructions to the main Trinity web page at:
http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/

Just click on your distro and follow the instructions. ;-)

Not sure, sorry.  I remember some discussion about that many years ago,
but I do not know if that feature ever made it in to Debian.

Much appreciated; I already have a few Debian testers but more is always
better.
