How to install libinput 0.4.0 in Ubuntu 14.04?

I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 14.04 and I tried installing libinput package from source.

export WLD=$HOME/install
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/wayland/libinput
cd libinput
./autogen.sh --prefix=$WLD
sudo make; sudo make install

But apparently when i try to find the version number of libinput using dpkg

dpkg -s libinput-dev | grep 'Version'
dpkg -s libinput0 | grep 'Version'

I get the following result respectively

dpkg-query: package 'libinput-dev' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

dpkg-query: package 'libinput0' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.

The reason why I wanted to install it from source is that I want the latest version 0.4.0 of libinput which apparently is a requirement of Weston - reference implementation of Wayland since after they added support to libinput.

This is the result that I get when i run autogen.sh for weston

./autogen.sh --prefix=$WLD --enable-libinput-backend --disable-setuid-install
