I didn’t do this, but I could. This evening, I went through and built Debian packages for 5.0.2 through 5.0.6 for Bionic. 5.0.7 had those beta version requirements. I gave it a shot, but I had problems building gwenhywfar 4.99.22rc6. AqBanking 5.99.40beta wouldn’t build either, but it’s because gwenhywfar wasn’t new enough. 

Next plan was to go back to the versions reported to be working (4.99.16 and 5.99.32). 

Anyway, it was fairly easy. You need to do “apt build-dep” for any of these things you intend to build. Then get the new source tarball and use “uupdate” to create a new Debian source directory. For kmymoney, for example, you’d download then 5.0.7 tarball somewhere, do “apt source kmymoney” and then cd into kmymoney-5.0.1 and do “uupdate <downloaded location>/kmymoney-5.0.7.tar.xz”, change to that directory and then do the usual “Debian/rules binary” (though I seem to remember that that’s deprecated but don’t remember the replacement).

Like I said, no problem up to 5.0.6 (though that required a new AqBanking, 5.8+). 

Hope this helps!
