I have Dapper and tried Reinhard's deb:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/r/rdesktop/rdesktop_1.5.0-1ubuntu1~prop1_i386.deb

...after I had done 'apt-get --purge remove rdesktop' and the result from my 'dpkg -i' attempt was:

Selecting previously deselected package rdesktop.
(Reading database ... 151221 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking rdesktop (from rdesktop_1.5.0-1ubuntu1~prop1_i386.deb) ...
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rdesktop:
 rdesktop depends on libc6 (>= 2.5-0ubuntu1); however:
  Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.6-0ubuntu20.4.
 rdesktop depends on libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8c-1); however:
  Version of libssl0.9.8 on system is 0.9.8a-7ubuntu0.3.
dpkg: error processing rdesktop (--install):
 dependency problems - leaving unconfigured
Errors were encountered while processing:
 rdesktop

So it looks like I can't install this early. Unfortunately this is very critical for me. I boot up on Ubuntu in my office and depend on rdesktop heavily to do LAN management in an office of 400 computers and 100 servers, mixed with Linux and Windows. Any hope of a release for Dapper or is this an indicator that Canonical would rather I upgrade to Feisty? It's just that I am conservative in judgment and stick with LTS versions when I can.
