That behaviour is discouraged in Debian. We don't mind if you offer the PPAs, but the official packages should *NEVER* enable PPAs or offer to do it (documenting that the PPA archive exists and how to enable them in the README is fine, of course). Please provide up-to-date versions of your package through backports.debian.org, that should address the main use-case quite safely. You'd do it like this: unstable -> testing -> stable-backports (i.e. upload to unstable, wait for it to migrate to testing so that you give it some time for testing *of the Debian package itself*, then upload the stable backport). It works extremely well, I've been doing that for several packages of mine (and of others as well, but in that case, you must understand that you will become effectively a co-maintainer of the backported branch and you are responsible to keep it up-to-date and address backport-related bug reports). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
