Calligra 2.4 is included in Ubuntu 12.04. Those are stable packages. As noted in the link:

Precise Pangolin

Ubuntu's current development version Precise Pangolin (12.04) has calligra packages in the standard universe repository. 

For 11.10, you can get stable packages as well (from http://krita.org/download)

For 11.10, packages are available through the following PPA:

ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backpor

I'm not sure how stable kexi is, of course, I only tested krita around release time on *buntu, opensuse and fedora...
