For what it's worth, this site has a pretty recent lame as a .deb package:
http://hive.me.gu.edu.au/not_lame/
I know it's not part of Debian proper (I'm surprised they don't have lame
in non-free at least) but at least you should be able to get it working.
I don't know whether it includes libmp3lame though, I know I had to
rebuild a src.rpm to get it under Mandrake, and then to get Audacity to
find it I had to ln -s /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.0 /usr/lib/libmp3lame.so.
I didn't care for Audacity's selection of mp3 parameters (i.e. just the
CBR bitrate and id3 tag) so I'd just as soon render to WAV and use lame on
the result anyway.
