It's packaged. See:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/cgi-bin/search_packages.pl?keywords=advi&searchon=names&subword=1&version=all&release=all

So you need to activate universe and multiverse in
your /etc/apt/sources.list. Attached is a sources.list sample for
Dapper. Do not forget to "sudo apt-get update" after changing this file.

To find a package which contain dvi in its name you can do (man
apt-cache):

apt-cache -n search dvi
