Filip,
No matter where you get Geany from, the following command should pull in what you need to compile the Geany package from source:
$ sudo apt-get build-dep geany
There are nightly package builds of the SVN trunk available for Debian; they should work fine in Ubuntu.
Well, I'd say they "could" work on Ubuntu, I'm not sure at all. Someone should just test it. I think the binary in the package itself really should run but maybe the package as such can't be installed on various Ubuntu versions as some dependencies' versions differ from Debian Stable for which the package is built. Just give it a try :).
Jump onto #geany on freenode and ping eht16 for the repo details.
No need to, I'm here too :). The usage instructions can be found next to the nightly builds on http://nightly.geany.org/debian/ .

Just tried this on a Ubuntu 9.04 install, trying to build from svn, and the one package it's missing is libtool. Somebody might want to add that one to the build-dep list.

Not really. The libtool package is only necessary when building from svn. The 'apt-get build-dep' command is usually used with release tarballs where libtool is not required. So, you trapped only into some special case :).
To verify, I just downloaded the new and still hot latest Ubuntu release, started the live cd, ran 'apt-get build-dep geany' and then built the Geany 0.16 release tarball and it succeeded. Everything necessary was installed.
In case I'm wrong with anything, Debian/Ubuntu experts might correct me, I'm none of both :).
