Whilst not official Ubuntu packages Philip Johnsson maintains an Ubuntu 
PPA (personal package archive) that generally includes recent versions 
of Digikam.

Last I saw this currently contains 2.9.0 and this is build against 12.04.

If you aren't familiar with PPAs the following URL may be of help.

I run Philip's PPAs and they are an excellent way to keep up with fast 
moving Digikam.

P.S. Thanks to Philip for maintaining the PPA.
