You could do the following: 1. Add Hardy sources to your apt sources.list 2. $ sudo apt-get update 3. $ apt-get source libnss-ldap, which should give you 258-1ubuntu2 4. $ apt-get build-dep libnss-dap 5. cd libnss-ldap* 6. debuild -uc -us Then you have the sources from the most recent Ubuntu version compiled as .deb. You need to manually track updates though, unless a newer version enters the archive, e.g. when upgrading to Hardy. Instead of steps 1.-3. you can also get the source from launchpad (https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libnss-ldap/258-1ubuntu2) and unpack it using dpkg-source. Instead of building the package on the system directly (steps 4-6), you could tools like use pbuilder, which build them in a clean environment and allow e.g. building packages for Dapper on a Hardy system. If you need to deploy packages to more systems, "local repositories" or Launchpad's PPA service are a good option, too.
