I don't see how this makes sense, as you always add only one series to one sources.list line.
It would seem a logical request to build the same source package for different series; I even saw a script on the web that changes series in the debian/changelog and uploads otherwise same source tarball for each series - which is apparently possible for the PPA to handle, but the fact of uploading almost same many times is suboptimal both {bandwidth,
In fact, what is the suggested workaround? If I create new ppa (with the same owner) for the copied packages, is that better (for launchpad) than uploading multiple times?
