This will definately be useful , Thank you for the contribution
Yesterday (May 4th, 2013), the packages on the PPA were updated. After the upgrade, the Bitcoin client no longer starts, due to database incompatibility problems. Anyone else having the same problem?

I had exactly the same problem as riz experienced (see this post: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/bitcoin-qt-ubuntu-live-usb-help-117909)
When I download and install the USB using Unetbootin in windows 7, i picked 12.04 live and installed to a USB stick giving a few gig persistence thinking that can be used for the blockchain files.
I get it installed and on first boot to USB i open a terminal and
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bitcoin/bitcoin
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bitcoin-qt
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
bitcoin-qt : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-system1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
Depends: libboost-thread1.46.1 (>= 1.46.1-1) but it is not installable
E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.
I just have this feeling that it is not working with Ubuntu 12.04.2

Better integration with Ubuntu Unity is needed. I find that the Bitcoin menu does not appear on the Unity top menu bar.
Same here. Since this are packages for Ubuntu it would be expected by a normal user to behave correctcly with its default DE.
Yep. It's an annoyance.

I'm of the opinion that bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt shouldn't be pushed to the central/canonical repos until we hit version 1.0.
Exactly. You never get a second chance to make a first impression.
I'm of the opinion that bitcoind/Bitcoin-Qt shouldn't be pushed to the central/canonical repos until we hit version 1.0.
Until then, I think we change too much too often (e.g. the blockchain format completely changed in the 0.8 release, and the wallet format will likely be changed before we hit version 1.0).

Just started Ubuntu on VM and still no bitcoin in repositories after 2 years of the project activity & dynamic development.
Is somebody working on officially pushing bitcoin to central/canonical Ubuntu repos ? This could significantly increase BTC popularity.
(The same with other distros)

Does this apply to 12.04?
what i installed was the PPA which will automatically incl updates for Bitcoin when Ubuntu recommends upgrades. so yes, it should.

Bitcoin-qt didn't show up in the Ubuntu Software Center until I ran that command, but I did see bitcoind. Can anyone explain why, please?
