Right, but a source package, and why not install from scratch if this
solves my problem?

No. I have no problem with installation software by source, and I
think
this is a recommended way if a binary package is not available!

No, I don't know, and I cannot agree with you.

Why not install open source software by source (I must repeat myself).

Don't take that to seriously. It was only a joke. But if I'm not mistaking, when you install a program from source it won't update automatically. I've installed OpenOffice3 in such way on my F9. That mean you'll face the same problem (too old version) sooner or later.
