Once Cosmic is released there will be a 2.12 via the Ubuntu Cloud Archive [1] available into Bionic as well.

But you are right it doesn't, any Ubuntu package in main will have a repo per package following this scheme git://git.launchpad.net/~usd-import-team/ubuntu/+source/qemu including pristine-tar branches for Debian as well as Ubuntu. Worst case run a "pull-lp-source" and you'll get all you need (but without git history) -- Christian Ehrhardt Software Engineer, Ubuntu Server Canonical Ltd
