We tend to backport security fixes and nasty bugs to older versions
(those we have in distribution). We don't pull in new version cause new
versions bring new features and thus new bugs. But I'm sure I'll get
slapped for saying that on upstream mailing list :)

In most of the cases, very simple procedure goes without problems:

wget http://upstream.com/supertool-new-version.tar.gz
apt-get source supertool
sudo apt-get build-dep supertool
cd supertool...
uupdate ../supertool-new-version.tar.gz
cd ../supertool-new-version
fakeroot dpkg-buildpackage

In case you want debugging symbols, instead of just building the
package, build it with 'special' env variable:

DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip dpkg-buildpackage

You could also fetch source from 12.10 release and build those packages
on 12.04.
