You'll likely want to specify configure arguments that match what debian used, or use only your custom installed version and don't use the deb, but then you might need to modify /etc/shells, etc.

For the mail list archive, I think this is how debian is configuring
the compile.

./configure CFLAGS='$(CFLAGS)' --host=$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)
--build=$(DEB_BUILD_GNU_TYPE) --prefix=/usr
--mandir=\$${prefix}/share/man --infodir=\$${prefix}/share/info
--sysconfdir=\$${prefix}/../etc --enable-scp-compat
--enable-winscp-compat --enable-chrooted-binary --enable-passwd-compat
PROG_USERADD=/usr/sbin/useradd
