    Download the source archive for it, build it locally, then  
install it.   That's what I did for my local systems, for similar  
reasons...

1) dget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/u/ubuntu-keyring/ 
ubuntu-keyring_2010.+09.30.dsc
2) Used debuild to build the package locally.  Used debsign on the  
resulting files.
3) Installed that package where I needed it, including to my local  
package repository.
