Actually, there is a package available in the unstable repository. You would
need to upgrade to Wheezy first however, which at some point will be necessary
anyway. Then you should be able simply to install specific packages from
unstable or testing.

I don't know what you're missing in the version that you compiled yourself.
You need Brlapi and, if you're planning to run Orca, the Brlapi Python
bindings.

You might be able to build Brltty yourself from the Debian sources -
debchecout brltty will download them. In general, though, I would suggest a
system upgrade.
