How can I apt-get from the Maverick repository into Lucid?

Question

There is a newer version of xdotool in the Maverick repository. There are new features available which I need in the Maverick version.

Is there a simple way to install the Maverick version? By simple, I don't want to have to learn the intricacies of installing from source today, but am willing to understand the individual steps if available. I haven't quite figured out the whole .configure thing yet.

So is there maybe a simple, one-off, way to get it via synaptic Package Manager?
