Vapoursynth on LMDE

[Selur]

No, the scripts over at hybrid-vapoursynth-addon are meant to help but you could still:

• install Vapoursynth (I would recommend R60RC1 atm., but R58+ are fine)
  
• compile vsViewer (and throw it into your /usr/local/bin folder or a another folder in your search path)
  
• compile the plugins on your os
  
• download the scripts
  
• tell Hybrid where to find Vapoursysnth and the plugins
  

Hybrid will work fine.

So just because the scripts do not run on your os does not hinder you to use Vapoursynth.
I have no experience with "Linux Mint Debian Edition 5", but vsrepo (https://github.com/vapoursynth/vsrepo) should allow to get most of the plugins.
