 Having a daily built development PPA on Launchpad would ease testing of
 latest code. Adding a PPA is one of the easiest ways for users to access
 packages outside their distros and lowering this barrier as much as
 possible can help attract more testers. Read more on why at
 https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/SourceBuilds.

 The way to accomplish this is using Launchpad's "packaging recipes" and
 code imports from the appropiate branches at Github. LP provides a
 buildbot facility to ease and even automate this.

 This could also be used to create derivate or experimental builds such as
 I2P packages, for instance.
