ppa? What's that? Quick google ... Professional Publishers Association ... no; Performance Preparation Academy ... don't think so; Power Purchase Agreement ... possible; Personal Package Archive ... ah, yes, probably. OK. It's an Ubuntu specific thing. In that case, I think the best thing is to ask on the Ubuntu mailing lists, not here. Remember though that Evolution is a Gnome application - it's releases match the Gnome releases and are often dependent on specific versions of Gnome libraries - i.e. you would have a hard job compiling & running Evo 3.6 on a Gnome 2 system. Certainly though, I wouldn't want the Evo developers to get side tracked into packaging Evolution for specific distros. I mean where does it stop? If you do a PPA for Ubuntu, should you then do a Yum archive for Fedora (probably not necessary because Fedora keeps up to date!), or a Yum archive for RHEL/CentOS/SL - don't forget both RHEL5 & 6. What about an Apt repository for Debian?
