Piotr, I'm not sure dpkg will allow you to do that as they have
conflicting sonames when the shared libs are installed.  I'm sure
there's a way to put it under a different prefix if you did it by hand,
but I'm not too terribly certain there's a clean way to not replace the
old exiv2 with debian's testing .deb.  In any case, anything linked
against exiv2 (perhaps GNOME related applications) will most probably
break by doing this.

 I don't understand why a special PPA hasn't been made yet or this isn't
in maverick-proposed at least.  Hopefully when Ubuntu puts out the
rolling release distribution repo we won't have to deal with this API
versioning rules nonsense anymore.  I understand why it's there, major
versions signify binary incompatibility, but it has to happen between
releases anyway in a less frequent manner.
