currently pr2 is part of debian woody and can be installed from 
there.  Takuo Kitame does an excellent job of keeping bleeding edge
gnome packages up to date in debian, but he does wait for releases.

If you would like to work getting build scripts and/or machines
together for building regualar debian builds, I will be happy to 
help you get it coordinated with our tinderbox and get the
distribution going from eazel servers, but at the current time we don't
have enough mental bandwidth to get it going at this time.  Nautilus
does build on debian, and serveral people have done so and do so
regularly.
