You aren't sacrificing freedom when using a PPA as long as the software within it is free software. Just double check the type of project and the licensing before installing it.

Another example is the PPA at https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/php5 which recently gave me PHP 5.4.17 for my server and is backported from Debian unstable. Is it free software? Of course!
