Hi,
I also work on a ubuntu 12.04 and what you said is true. Repositories 
update Saga up to 2.1 that doesn't work with sextante.
I solved installing the packages of 12.10. You can use Saga as 
"standalone" and via Sextante.

Go on synaptic and remove the 4 packages:
-saga
-libsaga-dev
- pytho-saga
- libsaga

Then go here http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ and look for the same 4 
packages you removed, but choose those for quantal or raring (you will 
see version 2.0.8 available)
Just download them as deb package and let your ubuntu install all the stuff.

Hope it helps

Cheers

Matteo
