As far as I know there is no way to define a custom repo inside of another .deb package. I suppose you could have it add the custom repo to the system during the install and have it then run apt-get install again. But that seems a bit convoluted to just avoid uploading to launchpad.
One thing I am not clear on about this new repository is it for the -devel branch or -stable. On the page it says it is for -stable. "Please note that the Ubuntu Repository is open for testing at the moment, and contains only the latest Version for v7-stable." But the packages are for v7-devel 7.3.4. vs 7.2.3 which is the latest stable release.
