Author Apt-get and source updating

I have a fondness for cream/gvim for writing webpages. I discovered
under FreeBSD the new combo based on Vim 7.0 has a vastly improved
spell-checker, among other things. I want it on a Kubuntu box. However,
the version built for my architecture (AMD64) is Vim 6.4. I happen to
know the repository has the source for 7.0, and I know I can use apt-get
to build it.

Would this work to that purpose?

apt-get build-dep vim vim-common vim-gnome vim-gui-common vim-runtime
apt-get -b source vim vim-common vim-gnome vim-gui-common vim-runtime

Would it update the currently installed packages? (I already know I'll
have to do cream manually.)
