Please forgive my ignorance. What is the place from which you are
grabbing these packages? It doesn't seem to be part of the Ubuntu
repositories. Is there no backports or security-updates repository for
Ubuntu 12.04?

I'm really asking whether there is a way to use the standard Ubuntu
repositories to get the packages rather than downloading them directly.

I have no strong preference. If they aren't coming from the standard
repositories then it's all just slightly different versions of bad :-)

Presume that you have lost interest in notmuch. How will we know that
this has happened?

Your two statements seem contradictory here.

Comments explaining the need to grab the packages directly would be the
absolute minimum requirement, I think. Include a pointer to the travis
issue that you mentioned.
