Ok, have missed that one. But I would prefer my infrastructure being dependent on Debian and not explicitly of one developers repository.
That's why I think that backport would be a better solution for Debian stable users getting support for what is in testing/Sid.
Yes, I have used Ubuntu PPA:s before and it has worked, sort of. Depending on what time and interest the developer had to support his PPA.
As for developers having their own repository they shared, it has been done before. Don't see any difference between a PPA and a developers repository at his own Debian web page.
Any way, it's only my 50 öre so just read and ignore.
