There are a few options, depending on whether you prefer packages, or if you 
need to install this quickly.

One way might be to request a backport. I have no experience with this 
particular group, but you could try requesting here: 
http://sourceforge.net/p/raspbian-backports/suggestions/

Another way is to download the Debian source files for 2.7.2-1 from 
https://packages.debian.org/sid/nut (three links under "Download Source 
Package" in the right sidebar) and use 'debuild -us -uc' from the devscripts 
package.

Since I needed to build from the latest code, I used 'apt-src' to install the 
build dependencies. Note that this will require a fair amount of free space on 
your SD card (I am using a 4GB card with Raspbian). In /etc/apt/sources.list, 
copy the first line, and change 'deb' to 'deb-src' like so:

deb http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib non-free 
rpi
deb-src http://mirrordirector.raspbian.org/raspbian/ wheezy main contrib 
non-free rpi

Then run 'sudo apt-src install nut'. This downloads the packages needed to 
build NUT 2.6.4, but then you would want to grab the newer NUT 2.7.2 package. 
You may also want to remove the nut* .deb binary packages to avoid confusion.

Unpack nut-2.7.2.tar.gz, and follow the installation instructions here: 
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/user-manual.chunked/ar01s05.html

If you need help, please subscribe to the nut-upsuser list and describe the 
problem there.
