My laptop is an R52.

What I did was :
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xorg/driver/xf86-video-ati
copy the debian/ directory from the xserver-xorg-video-ati package
update the changelog
add -DDONT_DEFINE_WRAPPERS to the CFLAGS to make it compile
apt-get build-dep xserver-xorg-video-ati
fakeroot debian/rules binary
