My rig was recently upgraded for running a testing Debian Jessy (8) and I was happily surprised to find that steam is now available as a non-free package.
After years of damn horrible dualboot, I have now destroyed my ntfs partition because steam was working very good in my case in stable debian squeeze with non oficial package.
After ubuntu released it, the Debian Games Team mainteners had make a package.
