You want to look towards Luke Yelavich's PPA:

I think I disagree.  I saw a lot of stability simply by using Luke's
packages on Jaunty.

Karmic?  You mean the current development release right, complete with
all of it's "work in progress" warts, yes?

That is a completely unreasonable suggestion to anyone except a hacker
willing to live with all of the problems of using a work in progress.

Yeah.  This is really starting to annoy me.  There seems to be little
momentum to do much of anything with a Ubuntu release once it's released
stable and the continuing response for any problems found post-release
is "try the next development release".

Anyway, this is heading quite OT for this list.  I just wanted to add
the PPA pointer for OP and suggest that using an WIP release is not a
suitable solution for most people.

Cheers,
