How do I install Multistrap 2.1.9+ on Ubuntu 11.10

So I am trying to install Multistrap for PDEBuild but I am getting an error saying the Ubuntu default version of multistrap (2.1.6ubuntu) is less than the required (2.1.9+). Anyone know how I install the newer version? I tried adding the lenny Debian repo but it doesn't seem to work.

The cleanest way is to install pbuilder, download multistrap source package from here (both the .dsc and .tar.gz), and build the package: 

sudo apt-get install pbuilder
mkdir -p /tmp/build_multistrap && cd /tmp/build_multistrap
wget https://launchpad.net/debian/experimental/+source/multistrap/2.1.9/+files/multistrap_2.1.9.dsc https://launchpad.net/debian/experimental/+source/multistrap/2.1.9/+files/multistrap_2.1.9.tar.gz
sudo pbuilder build multistrap_2.1.9.dsc
cd /var/cache/pbuilder/result
sudo dpkg -i multistrap_2.1.9_all.deb 
rm -rf /tmp/build_multistrap
