This is the latest in the stable branch. 0.2.2.x is the beta branch, and 
0.2.3.x is the alpha branch.

If you want the beta branch on Lucid, add this line just under the one you 
already have in /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental-lucid main

The keys are the same, so once you have both deb lines in place, a simple 
apt-get update and apt-get upgrade will install the latest 0.2.2.x package 
available. (There may be a delay between source releases and package releases.)

If you want the alpha branch, I believe you'll have to build it yourself. 
Sources are available at http://torproject.org/dist if you feel like venturing 
into that territory.
