Ah, I was assuming you were running hardy. I only ever upload to the hardy
 PPA since my uploads to the gutsy PPA are refused. I'm
 using bzr builddeb and PPA doesn't like  changing .orig.tar.gz
 tarballs (http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=473450).

Even when that bug is resolved, it wouldn't really be feasible to upload
to all distributions (edgy, feisty, gutsy, hardy, hardy+1, ...). Would
uploading for just the in-development distribution of Ubuntu and the
latest released distribution be sufficient? 

Or perhaps some tools can be provided to reupload a package to another
distribution in PPA?

Cheers,

Jelmer
