There is already a PPA with heimdall packages -- https://launchpad.net/~heimdall-packagers/+archive/heimdall/+packages . But they are being built only for i386 and amd64.

There .deb packages in the upstream project -- https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/Heimdall/downloads . But again only for i386 (and amd64 for older versions).

In my case (http://android.stackexchange.com/q/28025/13117 ), I'd be glad if I could simply "apt-get install heimdall" in my Ubuntu 12.04 for Toshiba AC100 (ARM). Unfortunately, there are no pre-built packages compiled for ARM.

Ech, why I did not found that PPA when worked on packaging heimdall ;D Probably due to being on a plane...

At http://tygrysek.juszkiewicz.com.pl/~hrw/debian/heimdall/ I have some work in progress package for Heimdall flasher, but as there is PPA with it I will take a look there as well.
