Thanks for the links, but i did and read that all... It doesn't help with my 
problem. I have a PPA, but i have nothing to upload...

I will have to try then, but i don't see a clean solution. Ubuntu PPAs don't 
accept .deb packages, they accept source code packages and build instructions 
and then they build .debs for all platforms. That A) makes not much sense for 
Java applications, and B) is my build.xml about 1000 lines long and based on 
many extra ant tasks.

I suppose it would take me a few full days of work to get this working with an 
ubuntu ppa. if at all...

>Yes it would be very useful to have a personal PPA to test your packages
I have a public Ubuntu repository where Ubuntu .deb packages are lying.  
(described at http://en.geopublishing.org/Download) You could test it from 
there. 

Let me ask more exact: Is it technically possible that a .deb is added to the 
UbuntuGIS repository without having it stored in an UbuntuPPA?

Thanks
Steve
