Or consider compiling it yourself from source.  It may be more work, but
you get complete control over your versioning, your package dependencies,
etc.  If a bug that affects you gets fixed on a bleeding edge version
(or is only available as a patch), you can fix it right away rather than
waiting for the package maintainer to catch up to it.
