This bug's been fixed on newer Ubuntu releases. From 𝐔𝐛𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐮 𝟏𝟒.𝟎𝟒𝐋𝐓𝐒 "Trusty" and up adb works 'out of the box' on most devices. adb is made part of android-tools source package and is available from Ubuntu repos: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/android-tools . adb can be installed by the following command:

sudo apt-get install android-tools-adb

This package installs /lib/udev/rules.d/70-android-tools-adb.rules for udeb to recognise android devices in adb mode. So, there's no need to use root for devices to get recognised in adb anymore. Please consider closing this bug report as it's already been solved.
