Not having received any suggestions, I forged ahead with building from 
source
and the process turned out to be quite painless.
The one thing worth mentioning is that attempting to install the package 
checkinstall results in:
E: Unable to locate package checkinstall [2]
... but everything worked fine without it.

[2] I could find no documentation anywhere of checkinstall being 
withdrawn as a package.
