This is a question for the distribution maintainers,

Is it possible to change the distribution PPA's (etc) so that one can 
install the nightly and the stable version of kicad, simultaneously?

When things like file format versions change then people have to make a 
choice, do I run nightly and lose backward compatibility OR do I run 
stable and lose newer features/the ability to test.   It would be handy 
to be able to have Stable installed to do real work, and nightly also 
installed for testing, or for boards where you really want access to a 
new feature early.
