Regardless, Most people I know (not corporate type users) stay current,
and like I said, I didn't find it useless. It's useful for the users in
my particular group.
I think that there should be a verson useable for each version of
Ubuntu, at least going forward. For instance, in October, I will
probably upgrade to 13.10 within days of when it comes out and I would
like to continue to use Linphone. So, the PPA might become useless to
me at that time. I believe that there are beta or daily builds of 13.10
out there already.

The unmet dependencies are the problem.
In rare cases, a newer library can even break packages you have already
installed.
As an example, that can mean you get to pick between installing the new Linphone
or the version of KDE that comes with your release.
What says Linphone developers about it? Is there really need to use newest
library versions?
Is there really need to use libraries which can't be installed on one of
popular modern Linux distribution
released only one year ago?
May be rename Linphone to WinMacPhone? Windows and Mac users has support,
unlike Linux users.
Linux users has no bugfixes and new features updates.
Frequently those packages have dependencies of their own that are not available
for your release.
So it must be build in PPA. This is common practice of all other developers.

Because you are using 13.04 "Raring" release. But "Raring" is 9-month-live release. This
is "Ubuntu testing release".
And many (may be even most) of people are using Ubuntu LTS releases ("Ubuntu
stable"), which are 5-year supported.
So main task is backporting stable Linphone versions to LTS. Backporting to
testing is useless.
