Supposedly their offical packages of gcc 3.2 are available since last year
for additional install on Debian 3.0.  At least that is what I get from
reading the various announcements and mailing lists.  However, I didn't find
any clear information how to add this additional install.

Well, the Debian definition of "unstable" is rather ridiculous in many
cases.  After all, they consider everything except their heavily patched
POV-Ray 3.0 plus old macro patch and other ancient patches a "stable"
version, while neither the official POV-Ray 3.1 or POV-Ray 3.5 were ever
considered "stable"...
