I don't use Debian, so I can't help with the details. But in general,
you can either find a mono 2.10 deb file, or install Mono from source
(ooow, that sounds painful).

Of course, you don't necessarily need MonoDevelop... you can write and
compile C# code without it, and Mono 2.6.7 (or whatever you have) can
do that pretty well. Or, you can also develop on another machine, and
move the DLLs over to your Debian box. These DLLs are pretty portable
(works across Windows, Mac, and Linux), if you write them
appropriately.
