No, the only "interface" to it is the "edit-acl.py" script from
ubuntu-archive-tools[1]. You can use it also to query your PPU rights:
  edit-acl.py -p sylvestre -S natty

The usual next step after PPU rights is often applying for "MOTU". As a
"MOTU" you would have upload rights to all packages in the "universe"
component where most of your packages are in. Only "blas" and "lapack"
are in "main" for which you would still need PPU rights which you
already have.
