This hole thing is (like usual) nor really intuitive. I added the  
ubuntugis repo as you said. Only 2.10 was offered.
Then I removed my previous repos and tried adding debian-ltr and  
ubuntugis-ltr (cause this pretty much sounds like the way to go when  
wanting the long term release). There it offered 2.8. Great, but  
installing like usual (sudo apt-get install qgis python-qgis  
qgis-plugin-grass) ends up in a QGIS without python support.

Can anyone give a final hint which repos to activate and which not to get  
a full fleshed QGIS 2.8. with all bells and whistles? From the  
documentation, I really get no clue, and this trial-and-error-games are  
boring (and its too hot in here anyway)

Thanx for any help
