I've upload ovirt-guest-agent 1.0.7 for Precise to my ppa. You can get
it from https://launchpad.net/~zhshzhou/+archive/vdsm-ubuntu/+packages
You can wget the .deb file and gdebi it.

The actual version is a bit newer than 1.0.7 because the Ubuntu
packaging scripts are introduced after 1.0.7. The agent runs
successfully on my Ubuntu 1204 guest and reports IP and file system
information correctly.
