That sounds like the best idea, and locally install Quixote.

It wouldn't be the first time that Ubuntu's release cycle collided
with an upstream release cycle.  Ubuntu also has Pylons 0.9.6.2 even
though 0.9.7 was recently released.  These things get fixed in the
next 6-month release.  And if the Ubuntu maintainer is not intimately
involved with the package, he wouldn't know that, for instance,
Quixote should have been packaged as python2.5-quixote.
