I run karmic, but have just added the jaunty PPA entry to my system and
done an update (sudo apt-get update, or do a reload in synaptic or
software sources).  After that, I see two versions of verilog:

$ apt-cache policy verilog
verilog:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.9.1-1
  Version table:
     0.9.1-1 0
        500 http://nz2.archive.ubuntu.com karmic/universe Packages
     0.9.1-0~jaunty0 0
        500 http://ppa.launchpad.net jaunty/main Packages


What do you get from that command?  If it doesn't list the PPA, then you
haven't successfully added the PPA, or else you haven't updated the list
of available packages ( the reload button in synaptic or when exiting
'software sources', or the command 'sudo apt-get update')
