Yes, there is no official PPA.

The PPA I and many others use is unofficial, but seems to be well
maintained (thanks for that, whoever you are).

Someone wanting to use the same unofficial repository may execute the following:

add-apt-repository ppa:nginx/stable
apt-get update
apt-get install nginx

If you want to use the devel version, then replace ppa:nginx/stable
with ppa:nginx/development

If you don't have add-apt-repository, then apt-get install
python-software-properties.
