Unstable has 0.47, experimental has 0.48
Backports seems not to have it.

Change /etc/apt/sources.list so that it says unstable instead of
stable or lenny,
then do "aptitude update; aptitude dist-upgrade". Then add lines that point to
experimental (add to, not replace; experimental only has a few packages of it's
own, the rest must come from unstable). Then you need to explicitly select
inkscape 0.48 (I recommend aptitude in interactive mode), as a regular
aptitude upgrade will not pull in experimental packages.
Or you might want to upgrade to testing first, then to
unstable/experimental. In
any case, unstable is pretty calm right now, due to the freeze, so there
shouldn't be too many issues.
