Ok, try this PPA for 12.04: https://launchpad.net/~texlive-backports/+archive/ppa (and please don't use my personal dev PPA, it's experimental!)

I don't want to be the only guy maintaining this, so consider joining the team if you'd like to help with backporting packages from Debian (or Ubuntu 12.10 when the packages start showing up there).

Alf, the packaging is just a copy of Debian's work, except where Ubuntu has minor changes. (Some of those changes are just because Ubuntu limits what packages are "supported" in main, and which are left in universe. Packages in main can't depend or recommend packages in universe.) Debian has only begun publishing TexLive 2011 packages within the past two weeks.
