Here's what I would suggest.

apt-get install rosegarden
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/rosegarden2 /usr/bin/rosegarden
cd path/to/current/CVS/source
make install

You should wind up with:

->ls -l /usr/bin/rose*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root     85970288 May 30 20:07 /usr/bin/rosegarden*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root          247 Oct 21  2001 /usr/bin/rosegarden2*
-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root      9062049 May 30 
10:25 /usr/bin/rosegardensequencer*

That will keep the ancient one safely out of the way, and you can run it as 
rosegarden2, while also doing the easy thing and letting the RG source 
install itself as "rosegarden."
