It's not a separate program - it's a command to apt-get, and is
described in the apt-get man page.

Assuming that you have deb-src lines in your sources.list that desribe
where to find the package sources it looks up the dependencies required
to build the Ubuntu kino package and installs them. It won't
/necessarily/ solve your problem, but the chances are that the build
requirements for the later version are similar or identical to the build
requirements of the version that exists in Ubuntu.

Some things are only required for building, and not for running - to use
a real world analogy you probably need quite a bit of scaffolding to

still stays standing.
