Neither has been released yet, so there is no Ubuntu package for either
yet.

1.8 has been in beta for a while, so only bug fixes and no new features
or incompatible changes have been going in, with one big exception: I
think we're planning to merge the new CKAN 2.0 datastore into 1.8 before
its release. You could install 1.8 beta by following the _latest_ source
install instructions (_not_ the 1.7 instructions!) and checking out the
release-v1.8 git branch instead of master. However, I wouldn't recommend
deploying anything on 1.8 at this point because the upcoming datastore
change is a big one.

CKAN 2.0 is still very much in alpha development and does not have a
beta version or its own git branch yet. If you want to check it out,
just follow the latest source install instructions and install from the
master git branch.
