I have just installed Ubuntu Tweaks by downloading the current Debian package for version 0.8.7, for 14.04 trusty, right clicking on it and selecting to open with Ubuntu Software Centre. This is obviously the simplest solution but I found out about it myself by accident. I can find no reference to this method on the internet.
