Graveman has been packaged for Ubuntu by Oliver Grawert.  It is available in
the universe repositiory for the next release of Ubuntu (Hoary).

However, if you are running Warty Warthog, then, to quote Oliver Grawert;

Do bear in mind that Graveman is still beta software, though reports of its
performance are generally good.
