That PPA is meant to provide the stable versions of our packaging development
tools. So it's not meant to be used as a testing PPA, but as a 'production'
thing. At the moment there's also a few library backports to make sure that
these tools work correctly (such as launchpadlib).
That being said, the idea is having something that we, the packagers, can
easily add to our development machines to do the packaging work. Since the
packages provided in the dev-tools PPA are only useful for package developers
the idea is just keeping that PPA as a 'private' thing for us, and keep the
packages just there.
Regards.
