I appreciate that 0.83 is a dev branch, but so is Jaunty at this point. At
some magical date the last version of 0.83 will become 0.84, if we wait
for that point to start testing then we'll be rather late in getting a
working system.

I was really asking as to why it needs to be a seperate PPA. The PPA can
hold multiple versions of the same package in the pool, the 'Packages'
file tells which should be used for the specified distribution.
http://ppa.launchpad.net/sugarteam/ubuntu/dists/intrepid/main/binary-i386/Packages

There is no reason (that I can see) that
http://ppa.launchpad.net/sugarteam/ubuntu/dists/jaunty/main/binary-i386/Packages
can't reference 0.83 packages (and then 0.84 packages as they get
released).

Whether we wish to support 0.84 packages on Ubuntu 8.10 is a different
question, and might have some bearing on the matter. Personally I see
little point as 0.84 will be out shortly before Jaunty and Intrepid is not
a LTS version...
