Ok Adam Conrad explained to me in IRC on a better way to proceed, so
I'd like to withdraw this request. He recommended doing:

- Use the PPA as a staging area (with perhaps having edgers be the
truly edgy one)
- Work on getting ricotz uploading rights for the drivers (if he
doesn't have that already)
   - Get mmarley started on the road to becoming an ubuntu developer
if he so desires.
- Push the driver updates in as SRUs.
-  After there are a few upload cycles under the team's belt
investigate shorter cycles, etc.

Anyone have anything else to add or other advice? Thanks for listening!
