I've not done it, but that is the thing to do. fiddle with the version
number so that apt picks the version you want. Apt will always install
the highest version number available, unless you otherwise tell it not
to. 

Another way to acheive this is with apt-pinning. You can pin your
version to exactly the one you want a number of different ways. man
apt_preferences and then after you get confused and can't get it to
work, ask on debian-user. Go ahead and admit that its ubuntu, but
point out that you're sure the d-u advice will be better... ;-)
