I remember this default changing years ago. The Emacs maintainers
wanted to draw the attention of new users by always presenting the
splash-screen.
What's wrong with inhibiting it with (setq inhibit-startup-screen t)?
Also, regarding Ubuntu 12.04, I'm using XUbuntu 12.04 on one computer.
I agree with Glenn Morris that Ubuntu only do "long-term support" for
the core which is installed by default. I use a PPA providing Emacs
24.3 it's from Damien Cassou. He doesn't support it anymore, but it
works fine.
