I would probably check if it's in something like backports.org. Otherwise, I might add the src for Sid, and download, compile and install that that. Lastly, I just get the original package and compile and install that (but only if there are no other packages depending on it, like I used to do it with Gaim). If there are other packages that depends on it, I might create an equivs-debian package. -- John L.
