You can do, and I have seen it done. The method I suggested allows the 
packages for each to be modified by series. Say something had to be 
altered in the packaging for Januty but not for Intrepid with the scheme 
I suggested it could be done with ease and still keep the same upstream 
version.

If you take a look at my PPA you can see 
https://launchpad.net/~adamhorden/+archive/ppa what I have done so far. 
These packages work when I tested them.

So you are suggesting that we have just one package and modify the 
control files so it can be built for Intrepid and Januty?
