What happens when you try? –  Nate Eldredge Nov 22 '13 at 5:20
    
There is no specific package for download that I can find for debian. They are for Ubuntu –  user199022 Nov 22 '13 at 5:23
    
So, you build it from source. There's a nice README in the source package. There's even a README.Debian discussing how to make it into your own debian package. –  Nate Eldredge Nov 22 '13 at 5:26
    
Really? Ill check it out –  user199022 Nov 22 '13 at 5:28

Download the bfgminer source code, extract the source, change directory into it.

Then:

$ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot

And it'll build a package you can install on Debian Wheezy. You will need to install "dpkg-dev" for dpkg-buildpackage and all the build dependencies, which you'll find out by running the dpkb-buildpackage command.

you have to patch it first before building the package;

patch -p1 < debian/patches/bfgminer-bitforce.diff
