I hadn't been aware of this. It does complicate things a bit.

Since Guile 1.8 is also needed for Lilypond 2.18.2, I figured Ubuntu
18.04 must have some way of using Guile 1.8 to build Lilypond. It looks
like the Lilypond source package includes Guile 1.8 as a tarball.[1] I
don't have access to an 18.04 system so I cannot test this, but
something like the following might work:

$ wget 
http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/l/lilypond/lilypond_2.18.2.orig-guile18.tar.gz
$ tar xf lilypond_2.18.2.orig-guile18.tar.gz
$ cd guile-1.8-1.8.8+1.orig/
$ ./autogen.sh
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
