That is if they haven't changed since.  The newer version of
mediawiki may well depend on a different version of PHP and/or
MySQL ... another (viable) alternative would be to get the source
for all three new package, the debian source packages for the 
current ones, and trying to rebuild them all (hoping that MySQL
and PHP are downward compatible enough as to not break anything
else in the process).
