First you should check the requirements for the package, because your
current version of Ubuntu may not have something that is required for
the newer version of Kino.  If it doesn't have it, then it won't work
once you have installed it.  That is the advantage of getting it from
the repository of your distro.

Second, I would recommmend that you use checkinstall to do the install.
 I didn't look at the link you were given for building the deb package,
but this is a way you can make a package as well.  It is recommended
that one way or another you make the package so that the package manager
will know about it.

Have a look at this:

Be aware that the live cd of Ubuntu may not have frozen when capturing
due to something else other than the newer version of Kino.  But I guess
you will see about that once you install it. :-)
