Running bullseye with fzf package 0.24.3-1+b6.

Newer versions of fzf (> .27.) have some advanced abilities I'd like to 
use but newer versions are not available in backports (at least not that 
I could tell)

I'm thinking of building fzf manually per the instructions here: 
https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/blob/master/BUILD.md

Wondering if there is any snags I might hit or if this is just a very 
bad idea in general. Thank you.
