I think -- a good notice actually -- many OSGEO apps are developing very fast paced and a fixing bugs or adding features faster than the 6months release time of Ubuntu and the even longer time of Debian. This was may motivation at the time I needed it for daily work to set up daily PPA builds for GRASS (6.x). I have learned a lot on these recipe based builders and could contribute with some hins there.
