See this thread on ubuntu-bugcontrol for some examples of who request this:

https://lists.launchpad.net/ubuntu-bugcontrol/msg00472.html

I'd imagine that this is simply because no better place currently
exists unless you send people directly upstream or create a new
project just for the PPA. Most of the examples don't seem to be daily
builds in the sense that have been talked about here, but more like a
stagging ground for packages headed to Ubuntu (i.e. the X team's PPA).
