>>>  discourages mixing up package and tarball :-).

Now I remember why I mixed the tarball with the ubuntu package, it was
because it was suggested on the wiki (
http://backuppc.wiki.sourceforge.net/supporting+distros ):

Ubuntu 7.04 (aka feisty fawn)
backuppc v2 and v3.0 via apt (v3.0 is in backports)
to install v3.1, first install v3.0 by "apt-get install backuppc"
(from backports), then download the regular install script from
http://backuppc.sourceforge.net/ and run it, it will update you to
v3.1 quite nicely
