Hi Mike,
you can add the repositories for jessie and experimental temporarily and
install the experimental version of awesome, which turns out to be 3.5.5. I
have been using this very exact package and it works perfectly. Just pay a bit
of attention to not upgrade your whole system and it should turn out very well.
Afterwards you can comment out the repos back again.
Regards,
Andre
