My personal feeling is that one should not install the debian sympa
package. I love debian and would never leave home without it, but sympa is
too complex and integrates with too many other programs to make for a
clean package. Also, I would only run 'stable' for a production machine,
and the stable sympa package is pretty old.

I found installing sympa on debian (stable) pretty easy. Step by step
