To use Thrift on a Debian Lenny based Host, add the following lines to the File /etc/apt/sources.list.d/thrift.list

deb http://www.bufferoverflow.ch/dist/thrift/debian stable contrib
deb-src http://www.bufferoverflow.ch/dist/thrift/debian stable contrib

and you get the following packages via apt-get:
libthrift-cil - CLI bindings for Thrift
libthrift-dev - Thrift C++ library (development headers)
libthrift-erlang - Erlang bindings for Thrift
libthrift-java - Java bindings for Thrift
libthrift-perl - Perl bindings for Thrift
libthrift-ruby - Ruby bindings for Thrift
libthrift0 - Thrift C++ library
python-thrift - Python bindings for Thrift
python-thrift-dbg - Python bindings for Thrift (debug version)
thrift-compiler - Compiler for Thrift definition files

Or download them individually here https://www.bufferoverflow.ch/dist/thrift/debian/pool/contrib/t/thrift/

These packages are made based on THRIFT-71 patches
