Bibledit-gtk is the new name of bibledit.  So you should be doing

  sudo apt-get install bibledit-gtk

However, as yet there is no "general availability" bibledit-gtk package
for Ubuntu, only one for developer testing, which is (logically enough!)
in the developer-testing PPA.

If you consider yourself a developer or tester, doing

  sudo add apt-repository ppa:pkgcrosswire/developer-testing
  sudo apt-get update
  sudo apt-get install bibledit-gtk

ought to get you that "quick and dirty" test version.  If you do try
this, please let me know how well (or badly) it works for you.

Thanks,

Jonathan
