You can follow the instructions at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Multitouch/XDevelopment#Building%20Development%20Packages
to build source packages from the git repos. I've update the
documentation to include the sources from Daniel.

There are two alternatives. I can upload source packages somewhere like
people.canonical.com. Or, I can go further and build the binary packages.

Let me know what you need.

Thanks,
