It's a bit more complicated than that. PPA have deb packages that you
can install on your Ubuntu system and that will play nicely with the
rest of your packages even though they're not officially supported.
git, on the other hand, is where development happens and it doesn't
offer packages, it offers sources that you can compile.

On Ubuntu, installing git (the software that will allow to grab
sources from the repository) should be as simple as `sudo apt-get
install git-core`. Then you can read
http://live.gnome.org/Planner/Development for an explanation of the
rest. Note that this isn't supposed to be for end users but rather for
developers.

We don't provide such packages. However, there might be backports.
Please ask the developers of your distribution, Ubuntu.
