Well mongo-stable--if 1.2 is what you mean by stable--has already been
pulled into Ubuntu from Debian. It is in the archive under "mongodb" so
nothing more needs to be done for that. For unstable and snapshot, like
I said before, the preferred way is to not put them in the official
archive, but to package them yourself in a PPA. This is because, unlike
Debian, Ubuntu doesn't carry unstable, testing, and stable packages
separately, there is just one stable branch for each release.

Now, just because your software isn't packaged in the archive doesn't
mean no one can get at it. It's actually very easy for anyone who wants
to download it to get it from your PPA. The links I posted above should
give you all the info you need. Packaging in a PPA also has the added
benefit of allowing you to provide easy backports for older releases of
Ubuntu, so it does have some benefits.
