I'd be a little leary, but you may be able to grab the source for 
libxxf86dga1 through apt, and compile it against the current dependecies 
you already have installed:

$ apt-get build-dep libxxf86dga1
$ apt-get source libxxf86dga1
$ cd xorg-x11-6.8.2.dfsg.1/
$ dpkg-buildpackage 
$ cd ../ && sudo dpkg -i <name_of_deb>.deb

Of course the standard YMMV applies.
