If you want that, it would be probably easier for you to switch from 
Debian Stable to Debian Testing to have more recents software.

Ah ok you mean a newer upstream version.

You can try to use apt-get source to get the current version of Debian, get the
current version of Mate from their website, and copy over the debian/
directory, but probably there will be some technical details that would
need to be fixed.

I'm just thinking that the repository may include improvements that aren't in 
the latest package. That is the case with Orca.

Thanks,
John

I don't understand what you would want to do with rebuilding Mate?
Normally that would just give you the same result as the Debian
packages. I must be missing some context.
