Indeed, the lowest level of problem of not having the binaries is solved by leaving them in the repo. This is what I am using to move the binaries into our own internal repo.
We would greatly prefer if the previous versions could also be in the PPA's package listing, this would allow for specifying an installation of a specific version. Currently, if we specify a version of rsyslog to be installed via Ansible, when the new package is release all new Ansible runs will fail. This is because we were, correctly or not, relying on the PPA still listing these versions. Unfortunately, I do not know how to do this but am researching it as I believe it would help many others besides myself.
