Right now I'm working on moving my rdiff-backup debs from a private repository

The idea is to have some kind of (semi-)official rdiff-backup PPA providing
updated packages of rdiff-backup to Ubuntu. This could be something really
useful, considering Ubuntu 9.04 (jaunty) will be the first release shipping
packages from the current rdiff-backup stable branch.
Hi Andreas
As a Ubuntu 8.10 user I think it is a good idea. I have my own script
for downloading and installing the latest rdiff-backup, but it would be
particularly helpful if other related utilities (such as archfs (with
patches!), rdiffweb etc) could also be put in your repository - that way
it could really save new users a lot of time. Of course the more
packages you put in the repository, the more work it is keeping them
updated!
But I am not sure what official sanctioning there could be; Canonical
take no responsibility for private repositories, emphasizing 'you should
be happy that you trust the author of the package'. This is something of
a problem IMO.
