apt-get install traceroute ought to install it. But I would second the choice of mtr. I find it much better than traceroute (although I've only done limited work with either). Another thing you could check is tracepath, and it may even already be installed on your system.
Sorry, I would check right now on one of my Ubuntu boxes, but they seem to be down at the moment, so I'm not sure about the above advice.
