The Ubuntu package libbz2-1.0 contains the actual _shared library_ that programs can use. However, if you want to _compile_ a program so it can use libbz2, you need the Ubuntu package libbz2-dev. Your system almost certainly already contains libbz2-1.0 but before you can compile gnupg2 so it can use it, you still need the package libbz2-dev. You should use that one and not bzip2-1.0.6.tar.gz because otherwise you are installing multiple versions of a shared library and this should only be done if you understand the implications. Otherwise, you could cause any program compiled against libbz2 to fail. Although I think this is unlikely in the case of libbz2 because it only has libc as dependency. You still might accidentally override a security update released by Ubuntu, though. The meat of the Ubuntu packages is as follows: libbz2-1.0: /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1.0 /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.so.1.0.4 libbz2-dev: /usr/include/bzlib.h /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.a /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libbz2.so (That final .so in -dev is a symlink to the .so in libbz2-1.0).
