Thank GNUtransfer the loan us a VPS and other resources to write this article.
While it is a bit tedious to install bitcoind 0.8.0 on Debian Squeeze, improvements in this version make it worth the work, performance is far superior to previous versions and I/O disk have been significantly reduced.
Now let’s start with the installation.

We must ensure we have the backports repositories, and the updated system.
Our sources.list should look like this.

root@vps146167:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list # deb squeeze main non-free contrib deb-src squeeze main non-free contrib deb squeeze/updates main contrib non-free deb-src squeeze/updates main contrib non-free # squeeze-updates, previously known as 'volatile' deb squeeze-updates main contrib non-free deb-src squeeze-updates main contrib non-free deb squeeze-backports main contrib non-free deb-src squeeze-backports main contrib non-free Then add the repository sources of bitcoin for Ubuntu Precise Pangolin.

Create the file /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bitcoin.list with the following content

root@vps146167:/# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/bitcoin.list deb-src precise main root@vps146167:/# Then add the key in apt
