Dependency errors sound like you tried to install the newer
package. Instead you should backport it -- download the source package
and build it for your OS. 

I'm still running hardy/8.04, and this means I backport a lot of
packages. It's not quite as simple as apt, but it's usually pretty
easy. Puppet, for example is 3 commands:

  git clone git://git.debian.org/pkg-puppet/Puppet.git 
  cd puppet 
  git-buildpackage --git-upstream-branch=origin/upstream -us -uc

Have fun.
