There we go, I knew this would happen, but I didn't expect it would
happen *before* we even have PPA available! :)
Please read the announcement. The design of the Debian PPA will be a lot
different from what is currently done in Ubuntu. The PPA will share the
same pool structure as the rest of the archive, and will be fully part
of Debian. They shouldn't be considered only "one developers
repository", but really, custom archives for specific purposes.

No it wont. In backports, we will only be able to support a single
version of OpenStack, when upstream really is supporting 2.

Then forget about it, this isn't the same thing.

Again, Debian's PPA will not be only for a single developer.

You are right, when it comes to Ubuntu PPA.
I would strongly suggest that you read the debian-devel archive, and
read what has been proposed.
