The UbuntuOne link that adds the PPA is a package, not an AptURL link:

https://media.ubuntuone.com/media/files/ubuntuone-jaunty-ppa.deb

Then there's an AptURL link below that to install the client package.

apt://ubuntuone-client?refresh=yes

But AptURL has the functionality to do both steps in one, if I understand correctly; it's just disabled by default. I don't know why. Installing random debs seems more dangerous and less reliable than installing PPAs.
