that would make sense, although I recommend installing debian package -
debian cares about upgrades in such cases.
unless you really really need, use debian packages.

I can second that, but have a big BUT... Debian unstable ("sid") and the

for details and download links.
I guess this is because debian is currently frozen - the next release should
come soon.
I didn't find any suitable ready-made backport, so I did a "naive" backport
myself - to Buster and Bullseye for amd64 and arm64.
I.e. only added a "2.8.0-7~" entry to debian/changelog and packaged that,
without any further changes. See dpkg-buildpackage(1)
(Why a backport? Because the "real" 2.8.0-7 is supposed to overwrite the
derived package set when upgrading to Bookworm. You're not supposed to
use "sid" or "testing" packages on an older system though.)
If you are able to create backport manually, go for it.
I do that very often, and it has the possibility to switch to debian
packages when they are available.
