I mostly use it with Debian and a couple of PPAs, but not for any 
nominally-Ubuntu software. I use PPAs for packages I want to use that 
don't have DEBs or RPMs.

No package conflicts because if a package exists in a Debian repository 
and in Ubuntu, I use the Debian version.

Only Ubuntu system we have here is my wife's netbook. She has no need to 
look outside the Ubuntu repositories for any software.
