The most certain way is to download the source package and build it on
your own machine. Install devscripts; add the source line in
/etc/apt/sources.list; apt-get update; cd /usr/src [or somewhere];
apt-get source package; cd package-directory; debuild; cd ..; dpkg -i
package*.deb.
If you don't want to do that, you can investigate pinning in apt (read
the docs - I haven't used it myself!)
