In what way do you mean? We should deprecate APIs first if they're used
by plugins, so a daily build of a newer revision of bzr.dev shouldn't be
able to break plugins.

Besides one of the goals of the PPA being to provide nightly builds for
users, it's also to make sure that the packaging is complete (all
dependencies present, testsuite passing, etc).
