The kivy package currently in Ubuntu (15.04/vivid) [1] is identical to the package that we have in Debian [2], and has been kept in sync since trusty was released, so it looks like it's not a matter of keeping the Debian and Ubuntu packages in sync (as Bastian seems to be suggesting), but rather, keeping the Debian/Ubuntu packages in sync with upstream-provided PPA packages? I'll make a note to myself to take a closer look at the diff between the official Debian/Ubuntu packages, and the packaging in the above github repo (which I presume is being used for a PPA?), but at first glance there does seem to be major differences that may make syncing this more trouble than it's worth (e.g. package names; getting them in sync means adding a mess of breaks+replaces relationships and regular testing to ensure a smooth upgrade path between Ubuntu<->PPA). Strictly speaking PPAs aren't officially supported to begin with, so the easy way out would be to just say that the Ubuntu packages aren't compatible with upstream-provided PPA packages...
