Short answer is no, reason is that the ppa contains released versions of
QGIS. There is no official release greater than 2.0.1

When 2.2 comes out it will make it's way into unstable and likely 2.0.x
will get moved down to stable.

Now if you look at the qgis.org download page this is probably what you
want "QGIS testing via ubuntugis", "...nightly builds that depend on
updated dependencies found in ubuntugis."
