help with converting .deb packages

[babygenius55]

How do you convert a 9.04 .deb to a 9.10? I'm not sure if I even need to, but before I install an older package I would like to know if there are general rules. I have a camera software package that has yet to be updated, and I can't find the source code, but can find the Jaunty .deb. are there any pointers out there?

I put this here because it seems sensible.

There should be no need to do a conversion. The .deb package will work on any Debian based system.

Thank you for the reply, it turns out I wasn't asking the proper question.
