Probably not but do you really need that last dot release?
Do you know for sure there is anything in it that will affect
your code? If not I'd just stay on 3.6.5....

Personally, although I have 3.6.5 installed, my default v3
is 3.5.4.

If you really need 3.6.6 then your best bet is to locate a
deb package that somebody has created, otherwise building
from source is about the only option.
