djvulibre is in hoary :
http://higgs.djpig.de/ubuntu/www/hoary/graphics/djvulibre-bin

you can try the following :

1) add hoary deb-src lines in /etc/apt/sources.list

deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary main restricted
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary-security main
restricted 
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ hoary multiverse

2) do a sudo apt-get update
3) type in : sudo apt-get build-dep djvulibre
4) type in : sudo apt-get -b source djvulibre
5) after compiling is finished : dpkg -i djvu*deb
