I use easytag to do this. You can work at the album level, and it
queries freedb for whatever you like (album name, artist name), and
gives you a list of possible albums. It can normalize tags, filenames,
directories...

And it's in the universe:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?searchon=names&version=all&exact=1&keywords=easytag

It's not perfectly what you want, but it should get the job done, once
you figure your way around the interface.
