Rather than just building and installing from a source tarball, would it
be possible for you to backport from unstable? The advantage of that is
that you end up with a .deb, meaning you don't break your dependency
chain. There's no guarantee, however, that the unstable package is the
most recent. But it will be fairly close. :-)
