I have used SAGA 2.0.7 with QGIS 1.8 from Ubuntugis. I think there is
something about processing in QGIS 2 being made to work with SAGA 2.10
but there's a packaging bug related to gdal that prevents us from
putting SAGA 2.10 into the ppa right now. Johan (from SAGA) knows more
about the issue.

Try the list archives for this list and the QGIS list ( do we archive
this list on Nabble?).

Thanks,
