I guess LaunchPad has some nice integrations with PPA concepts. I withdraw my recommendation about Github for this purpose. But, there is a pylab github account that can be used.
Yes a PPA is strictly so that debian/ubuntu/debian-derivative users can add it as a source for automatically-updated packages.
Though I'd like to add that our wonderful friends at neurodebian already fill much of this role, I'm not really sure we need a new PPA. They pretty much package everything we're talking about here, do it on time, and I'd rather encourage reuse and support of their extraordinary efforts than build a new one next to theirs. If upon closer inspection we find good reasons *not* to use neurodebian, so be it; but let's not *start* by effectively redoing a small piece of what Yarik and Michael have already built up with so much work.
As far as I understand (not being a Linux user) the ppa for pythonxy is mostly a repackaging of the Debian version, which for statsmodels and related is mostly Yaroslav's and NeuroDebian's work https://launchpad.net/~pythonxy (advantage for statsmodels: integrated tests of the devel version on Ubuntu) Josef
