It all depends on how difficult you want to make it for yourself.

The ubuntuzilla way is simple, reliable, and, is used by many.

After following the relatively simple procedure to implement it, 
whenever a new version/update is released, it is automatically included 
in your system updates, as you perform them, and you do not have to go 
through the procedure of performing a new make and install, manually, 
every time that am update or new version is released.

Of course, if the ubuntuzilla way is not sufficiently difficult for you, 
and, you want to go out of your way, to make it difficult, that is up to 
you.

You asked for a relatively simple way of doing it, and, if you 
gratuitously choose the more difficult path, that is your prerogative.
