Well, a PPA - by its very definition - is a personal package archive.
It's an Ubuntu/Launchpad thing. Not something a Debian user wants to use.

You need to upload sources to build a PPA. Launchpad builds the binaries
(for x86 and amd64 exclusively, IIRC).

Thus, a self-hosted apt.postgresql.org clearly can serve more use cases
than a PPA does. And being closer to the Debian way of doing it
certainly doesn't hurt upstream acceptance (or that of other Debian
based distributions).

That being said, I'm all for simplifying the installation. Upthread,
Christoph and Martin already discussed viable approaches.
