UPDATE:

Did some digging around on the QGIS site. Apparently you need to install the python-gis package if you want to use the python plugins. 

sudo apt-get install python-qgis

You should now be able to add new plugins :)

If I'm not mistaken, you need to enable the Plugins Installer. Just activate it in Plugins Manager.

I had the same problem on Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric). To get the python plugin installer back, I uninstalled all qgis packages, added the unstable ubuntu-gis repositories (https://launchpad.net/~ubuntugis/+archive/ubuntugis-unstable):

deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu oneiric main

deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu oneiric main

and then reinstalled qgis. Hope this works for you.
