[maemo-developers] PPA's?

Has a PPA system (ref: ubuntu) been considered for maemo.org? Having
to shoehorn everything through the extras process is a bit too
draconian for my tastes, and in general it's probably safer to add a
single special-purpose repository somewhere than enable a full-blown
extras-devel repository (that just might brick your phone).

Example use case: I'd like to set up a repository for myself,
containing various tools I like to use in my scratchbox (without
having to recompile the stuff over and over again, or manually install
debs). Also, users may want to follow development snapshots from one
particular program, still without enabling extras-devel (or even
extras-testing). Ubuntu PPA's are a perfect solution for lots of
problems, and I'm wondering why we don't have this yet ;-). Is it a
manpower problem?
