Yes you are missing something.
There are 3 different qgis.org repos, 2 of which are nightly builds
The one you want is:
deb     http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly precise main
deb-src http://qgis.org/ubuntugis-nightly precise main
deb     http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu
precise main

This will get you 2.1.x (soon to be 2.2) with gdal 1.10

But yes you could break things since it's the nightly build, of course
if you get a working nightly build you can just lock it. FYI, if you're
making a new spatialite db you can just do that on the command line
before using it in qgis.

Enjoy,
Alex
