It is in universe for Ubuntu 7.10.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/gutsy/admin/checkinstall

Just add/open universe repository and install it.

asmok at ubuntu:~$ cat /etc/apt/sources.list | grep universe
deb http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe
deb-src http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy universe
deb http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe
deb-src http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-updates universe
deb http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main restricted 
universe multiverse
deb-src http://fi.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ gutsy-backports main 
restricted universe multiverse
deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security universe
deb-src http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu gutsy-security universe
asmok at ubuntu:~$

After added repository do update and then upgrade before installation.

Use your local/country repository like me - fi for Finland.
