I also would like a newer version of Monotone in Ubuntu, for the same
reason (Pidgin). Monotone is up to 0.35 right now, and their source
package includes a "debian" directory with Debian package information. I
followed the instructions on dpkg-buildpackage and pbuilder at
https://help.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/packagingguide/C/basic-scratch.html to
create a source and amd64 binary package from the package information
included within the source distrribution; I am not sure if the resulting
packages are perfect, but it works for me. You can download the
(unsigned) packages I built at http://xyzzy.freeshell.org/monotone/.
Install with (if you are on amd64):

sudo apt-get build-dep monotone
sudo dpkg -i monotone_0.35-0.1_amd64.deb

Hope this helps someone. I agree that it would be nice if a Monotone
0.35 package was in universe.
