In terms of Ubuntu, the official package is the one in the archive.
Stop using the non-Ubuntu package from deluge-torrent.org as it is not
supported by Ubuntu (and therefore this bug tracking system), and you
will not have this problem. (Or, alternatively, always use the
unsupported-by-Ubuntu deluge-torrent.org package, but don't complain
to Ubuntu when it doesn't work.)

First remove the old unsupported deluge-torrent that you installed,
then install the supported deluge-torrent package from Ubuntu (which
will also install the deluge-torrent-common package).

All distros package their own version of software. This is normal. It
is abnormal to use the non-distro-specific "official packages" rather
than the ones built specifically for Ubuntu by Ubuntu.

The reason deluge-torrent-common exists is that it contains all the
files that don't need to change based on the architecture it is
installed on. This reduces the size of the archive as it doesn't need
to keep multiple copies of these files for different architectures
(currently 7 in Ubuntu).
You should never have to install deluge-torrent-common yourself,
because the deluge-torrent package depends on it, so installing
deluge-torrent will automatically install deluge-torrent-common.
