Per Daviey's request, some more detailed info about this removal and the future plans:

First, I wrote up these reasons in detail on my blog here:

http://fewbar.com/2010/09/drizzle-maverick-ppas-and-you/

To sum them up:

* We didn't want an alpha version in Maverick, and the beta was running a bit late given the proximity to release.
* Licensing had some ambiguities that need to be cleared up before Debian upload
* By going the PPA route during Drizzle's beta cycle, ustream will be able to handle the bug reports directly and incorporate changes into the final release.

The drizzle team is *targetting* Natty with their planned final release date of the "elliot" milestone in February, and I have every intention of ensuring that drizzle is in both Debian and Natty well before natty's release.
