Alien seems like it should be a reasonable thing to do. I personally
really wanted it to work at one time. But in practice alien never
seems like a good thing. It just isn't as successful as doing things
the native Debian Way.

The Debian Wiki contains instructions on how to install the ATI
proprietary driver fglrx on Squeeze:

http://wiki.debian.org/ATIProprietary

That should give the best results.
