As Jeff said, installing on Ubuntu 12.04 using apt-get is easy, and I've 
only used stackbuilder once. You don't really need it.

I like to experiment with the latest so currently I do install PostGIS 
from sources. The version in the official Ubuntu repository is still at 
1.5.3

There are instructions here for PostGIS 2 packages that look pretty 
promising:

My own grueling details are here: http://wildsong.biz/index.php/PostGIS
Feedback welcome.

Hope this helps,
