I will work on this. Learning packaging is something I still haven't
crossed off my TODO list, but it's a high priority for me.

That would be a start. I'll look at James's PPA as well.

I created that with the intention of always tracking the latest
"unstable" developer releases - which James has now been doing. We
have three needs, as I see things:
* Sugar 0.82.x release for intrepid
* Backported Sugar 0.82 stable release for Hardy - I don't think this
should be pushed into universe
* Latest development release for easier-than-jhbuild installation -
for now 0.81.x but continuing to track 0.83.x once the 0.84 roadmap
starts

I see the sugarteam PPA working on the first and the second, and the
sugar-ppa-devel PPA for the third (although they happen to be the same
at the moment). I'll keep the sugar-ppa-devel one dormant until it's
definitely needed. We can discuss a strategy then.
