Don't know why this hadn't been put as an answer, I just put it here from Charles Green excellent comment.

android-tools-adb and android-tools-fastboot are in the universe repository. You can enable it in Software Center or just hit this one-liner which will enable and install everything.

sudo add-apt-repository universe && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot
