So it is not needed if I simply add the repositories to sources.list
manually like this:

deb     http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu
precise main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu
precise main

Thanks for the clarifications! Have a nice Easter weekend.
