When I have built (or tried to build) other packages on older Fedora systems, I have sometimes built everything from source and installed it under /usr/local, but then you have to be careful to use the pgkconfig files in /usr/local instead of /usr.
On some systems, you can force the installer to ignore dependencies. 2.20.1-0-ubuntu2 is probably compatible with 2.20.0-0ubuntu4. Usually the API is the same if the first two numbers are the same, so libgtk-2.0-0 will probably work with it if you can force apt-get to install it. Do you need gnee and pnee? On my older systems, I can only build cnee. Does cnee work for you?
