Please backport arduino 1:1.0.1+dfsg-2 (universe) from quantal to precise.
Reason for the backport:
========================
Arduino 1.0.1 fixes several bugs and adds internationalization. I'm guessing that the other changes and additions don't make this eligible for an SRU.
http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ReleaseNotes
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arduino/1:1.0.1+dfsg-2
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/arduino/1:1.0.1+dfsg-1
I haven't used arduino-mk (a rdepends listed below) yet so I'm not sure I'll be able to test it.
Testing:
========
Mark off items in the checklist [X] as you test them, but please leave the checklist so that backporters can quickly evaluate the state of testing.
You can test-build the backport in your PPA with backportpackage:
$ backportpackage -u ppa:<lp username>/<ppa name> -s quantal -d precise arduino
* precise:
[X] Package builds without modification
[X] arduino-core installs cleanly and runs
[X] arduino installs cleanly and runs
Reverse dependencies:
=====================
The following reverse-dependencies need to be tested against the new version of arduino. For reverse-build-dependencies (-Indep), please test that the package still builds against the new arduino. For reverse-dependencies, please test that the version of the package currently in the release still works with the new arduino installed. Reverse- Recommends, Suggests, and Enhances don't need to be tested, and are listed for completeness-sake.

I just uploaded -2 with a small translation fix to unstable (and thus quantal).
This update is especially important since you need to to use the new Leonardo boards [1] that are being shipped shortly.
