Hi,
Please note that v7.8 has not yet been released so v7.8.3 is still in
development. The PPA is a way that we can test on Linux before the
official release.
Cheers,
Laurence

The BOINC client v7.8.3 is available for testing on Linux

sudo dnf config-manager --set-enable updates-testing

Test reports can be sent to the alpha testing project and bugs can be
reported to the Fedora or Debian bug trackers respectively.

Surely Debian users should get it from the Debian repo than trying to add a
ppa? Both stretch-backports and jessie-backports-sloppy have BOINC 7.8.3
available for multiple architectures. They might want boinc-client as well as
the manager too.
Raspbian users (its based upon Debian) would also want to use the backports
repos if they wanted to test on a Pi2 or Pi3. If they have a different model Pi
then they're out of luck because Debian has a minimum of ARMv7 support.
