Yes.  See:

http://www.mythbuntu.org/repos

for more information (including a nice picture showing that 12.04--the 
currently-recommended version of Ubuntu for running MythTV--supports 
0.25 through current development version, and will support 0.27 
(assuming we release 0.27 before the next LTS Ubuntu is released :)).  
Specifically, "Mythbuntu will provide Bundled Version & Bundled 
Version+1 of MythTV for regular releases and every MythTV version 
released during the lifetime (2 years) of a Mythbuntu LTS release."
