Julien, Rather than guess which ones to copy, can you tell me your launchpad ID so I can add you to the UbuntuGIS team and you can just upload future releases there. As for Paolo's question...Launchpad is actually the ideal place to keep everything as it's more open for contribution and we can better rely on the Debian packagers too. I'll be honest that I always have people install from Ubuntu-GIS unless they want nightly builds because the dependencies are usually updated faster there. I was actually considering that we move the Ubuntu nightly builds there too so that we lower the load on the qgis server (of course this might add complication to Jurgen's work, which I'd like to avoid since he does such an awesome job now).
