Hi djp,

Since PPAs require uploading source packages rather than pre-built debs, what you'll need to do is create a wrapper source package, that contains the precompiled binaries. The "build" process for this package would merely copy the appropriate binary into place.

I don't know if there is official documentation for doing this, but here's a guide that explains it with examples:

Hope this helps, let me know if you have more questions.
