My practice is to us ~ppa1 when targeting the development release and ~release1~ppa1 for previous releases. This has the advantage of naturally upgrading to an official backport if one is done since they use a ~releaseX numbering scheme. For all the reasons Scott argued for ~ppaX, I think ~release1~ppaX is the right answer for non-development releases. I believe this is a best practice that should be documented somewhere in the Launchpad documentation. I don't think PPA use is something we need a UDS session for.
