Installing unstable MongoDB on Ubuntu

I've been trying to install the unstable version on Ubuntu 10.10 using apt I've installed it from source before, but decided that the apt option might be a better route to go.

I've followed the instructions given at the mongodb docs site but when running:

sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen-unstable

I get the following error:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package mongodb-10gen-unstable is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or is only available from another source

E: Package 'mongodb-10gen-unstable' has no installation candidate

But it works fine when running (trying to install the stable version):

sudo apt-get install mongodb-10gen

The mongoDb docs states

We publish 2 distinct packages, named mongodb-10gen, mongodb-10gen-unstable corresponding to our latest stable release, our latest development release.

So the package name should fine.

Same thing happend when running:

aptitude install mongodb-10gen-unstable

No candidate version found for mongodb-10gen-unstable
No candidate version found for mongodb-10gen-unstable
No packages will be installed, upgraded, or removed.
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 165 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B of archives. After unpacking 0B will be used.

Is there another repository or something I should add for the unstable version ?

Thanks

Peek into:

http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/debian-sysvinit/dists/dist/10gen/binary-amd64/ or http://downloads-distro.mongodb.org/repo/ubuntu-upstart/dists/dist/10gen/binary-amd64/

or... I won't link every directory but these packages are not packed currently.

Whether they will be or not, ask on http://jira.mongodb.org .
