I don't really get it. What is the sense in adding a ppa to your system when you need additional steps to get the packages from there!? This is counter-intuitive! If a user adds the ppa he/she/it states his/her/its will to use packages from there, so why ignoring that user wish?I basically agree with Uli, except that I'd only prefer newer versions from the PPA over those from the Ubuntu archive (which should be the case for nightly). Or with other words: I assume you update the upstream source in the orig.tar for the nightlies, then you should also change the upstream version.
The orig tarballs are indeed Git snapshots and the code base is newer than the upstream release number given. In fact, the package version contains the Git revision hash (shortened) and from that you can derive what code is actually shipped in the package.
The overall idea is to have an easy upgrade path when you want to return from nightly builds (test test test) back to a stable release build.
