Anyway,

I manually download and compile QEMU from the latest released sources.
And a few times also from GIT.
Ubuntu actually sucks in keeping up with important (to me) packages,
so either I use alternative repositories or compile them by myself.
If I can give you my advise, jump on 16.04 if possible. You'll get
newer versions for almost all packages (QEMU is at 2.6) and longer
term support.
