Daily builds for server packages
Upstream projects such as PHP and Apache prefer that users who are reporting bugs with their software to use the latest unmodified software in order to test fixes. We should provide a PPA for users to install unmodified upstream software so we can provide quality bug reports for our upstreams.
This is a continuation of the work started in lucid.

Status:
Started, was blocked on #599102, should now be fixed-released. Drizzle does not need this, as they already have their own daily trunk build PPA (clint-fewbar)
Complexity:
maverick-alpha-3: 2
ubuntu-10.10-beta: 2
[zulcss] ubuntu-10.10: 2
[clint-fewbar] ubuntu-10.10: 1
[serge-hallyn] ubuntu-10.10: 1
Roadmap notes:
Spec timeboxed to 2 points for Alpha3 & Ubuntu Beta
Write HOWTO so load can be shared among people afterwards

Reviewers: ttx + jib
ttx review / 20100526:
* In order to prioritize correctly, could you split the set into prio 1/2 based on how desirable each dailyVCS is ?
* Wasn't libvirt done during the Lucid cycle ?
* Suggested assignees: zulcss / ?
* Estimated complexity: 7-9 total
* Suggested priority: 2/Medium for prio1 and 3/Low for prio2
* Suggested Subcycle: Iteration 2 (Alpha3) for prio1 and Iteration 3 (Beta) for prio2
jib review:
* Upto and including libvirt i'd consider prio 1
* Estimated complexity for prio 1 would be 3-4, which I think is a good load
* The process of setting up an edgers PPA should be well understood now. Can we
engage upstream to contribute? See also the server-
