What says Linphone developers about it? Is there really need to use newest 
library versions?
Is there really need to use libraries which can't be installed on one of 
popular modern Linux distribution
released only one year ago?

May be rename Linphone to WinMacPhone? Windows and Mac users has support, 
unlike Linux users.
Linux users has no bugfixes and new features updates.

So it must be build in PPA. This is common practice of all other developers.

Because you are using 13.04 "Raring" release. But "Raring" is 9-month-live 
release. This is "Ubuntu testing release".
And many (may be even most) of people are using Ubuntu LTS releases ("Ubuntu 
stable"), which are 5-year supported.
So main task is backporting stable Linphone versions to LTS. Backporting to 
testing is useless.
