While not preferred, it is possible that you could modify the 1.5.1+dfsg1 package to be up to the new version. We then could include the upgraded version in Lucid and send what we did back to Debian.
However, (1) the build system looks like it could use some help (from the debian/rules file, uses mv and cp instead of dh_install for example, and it ships with configure already made and with old autotools files), (2) the debian maintainer did something to the upstream source to make it DFSG and I can't find what exactly, (3) there are missing/unmet dependencies [1], and (4) there are multiple lintian warnings with the package (Ubuntu might not care, but Debian will) [2]. Because of those issues, it would probably be best to work with the Debian maintainer or even adopt the package from Debian to clean up the package. If you can give it a try, Ubuntu and Debian will appreciate it!
