If the version of vim you need is in backports use that.

If it is not, then you have a choice of living dangerously and using the
packages from testing, or installing from source.

If you DO decide to install from source may I recommend that you find
'Build-Pkg-Smart-Way.pdf'

http://goo.gl/mmhqh    has it.


You end up creating your own .deb package and installing that so that
dpkg and apt-get are fully aware of it.

If there are not too many dependencies I tend to use the package from
unstable. Sometimes I get away with it, and sometimes I don't and have
to do it the hard way...
