For those looking for a temporary fix until 0.9.10 hits main, this is what I had to do:

Enable the compiz-dev ppa:
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:smspillaz/compiz-dev

Pin this ppa at a higher priority, as packages are not tagged properly and won't upgrade existing ones otherwise:
Create file: /etc/apt/preferences.d/smspillaz-compiz-dev.conf with this content:
Package: *
Pin: release o=LP-PPA-smspillaz-compiz-dev
Pin-Priority: 950

I messed a lot before figuring the pinning out, so maybe you won't need to, but I had to apt-get purge all previous compiz packages before reinstalling, trying to upgrade caused breaks. Remember to make a backup of your preferences before purging!
