Debian Squeexe & version 0.6x

I was used using a previous Debian release (jaunty) but now I have a plug device running Debian Squeeze.
Although I have sabnzbd running through 0.5.4. (very easy) I want to upgrade to the 0.6.x version and keep using those
What is the best way to achieve this? Cause I believe it is not available through the unofficial repo.
Thanks!

On Debian, can you install the Ubuntu PPA? If so, I think that's a good way to do it.
If not, download the source-tar-gzip file, unpack it, and run it.

PPA is possible, but may require manually putting a correct Ubuntu release name in the sources list, that matches somewhat with the Debian release. Try 'lucid'. After that, business as usual, although there's in principle no support for this setup. Another option is to rebuild the source package from testing on a squeeze system. Needs to be done manually every time. See
http://wiki.debian.org/SimpleBackportCreation And then there's running from source.
