Hi Philip, I'm sorry that I missed this thread until now. I am very
interested in the Digikam 2 beta PPA. If it is for your own use, then
of course merge the Digikam PPA with "extra" PPA. But if it is
intended as a service to the community, then the proper thing to do
would be to have them separate.

Thanks!
