You can try Simple Sysexxer which "only" requires Qt4 (not Qt3) instead
of KDE:

I'm not sure if Debian offers a Qt4 package and if you can install it besides
Qt3.

amidi is easy to use. Disadvantage: You need to disconnect the desired
port from
any other port in aconnect before you can read/write via amidi.

Sysexxer is unmaintained and its ALSA support wasn't finished (it still
needs an
OSS device to work properly). I'd like to recommend Simple Sysexxer for
unknown
reason :) .
