how can I build packages in launchpad using valac-0.18 or higher?

Question

How can I build my package using valac-0.18 and libgranite1 on launchpad? It only has valac-0.16 and libgranite0.

I succesfully built a .deb package with pbuilder by adding my computer sourcelist with "--aptconfdir /etc/apt":

pbuilder-dist precise create --extrapackages valac-0.16 --extrapackages libgranite-dev --aptconfdir /etc/apt

(I know there is only valac16(and libgranite0) but with apconfdir it made it to 0.23(and libgranite1))

uploaded it on launchpad with

dput

but launchpad still searches for the old libs.

You can add the vala-team PPA as a dependency of your PPA to get newer versions of Vala. I'm not sure why you are specifying --extrapackages instead of putting these in your debian/control file.
