[PLUG] HOWTO Upgrade Specific Ubuntu Package

[Rich Shepard]

   Apparently part of the seamonkey problem here (or all of the problem) is
that xubuntu-9.10 installs seamonkey-1.1.17 and there's a -2.x version
available that fixes a bunch of problems.

   When I look in the synaptic package manager on the laptop I see that
seamonkey-1.1.17 is considered the latest version and there's no obvious
offer to look for a newer package.

   What's the technique for getting a newer package for a specific
application?
