There is a system behind these strange debianish package file names. And you 
do not have to type the full name if you use synaptic or aptitude, for 
example; even if you use the command line, then, given that there is only one 
file starting with tipa in your current directory, you just type "tipa" and 
press the tabulator tab, and the file name is completed automagically. Try 
it!

I do not have Ubuntu, but I have Debian Sarge. If I ask to install xfonts-tipa 
here, then the package I named in my previous mail (which is tex/tipa) is 
installed as well (and has to be installed for xfonts-tipa to work).

If I do as said above, then it works out of the box not only with TeX, but 
also with Scribus. Please consult the Ubuntu manual on installing packages 
there, but I think it will be the same there.

Yours sincerely
