Dunno if ubuntu provides emacs23 snapshots. If not, just get the current
head from CVS and install it in /usr/local (the default). That way if you
run into problems, you still have a working emacs.
Note that some linux distros provide a lot of emacs extensions that
aren't part of the base install, so you may want to ajust your load-path
if you want to use those from your custom built emacs (or install the
extensions you want yourself)
