Is it usefull ? Yes! Thank you ver much. I like to report bugs against nightly but don’t always have time to compile and I need a fairly stable KiCad for other work. I switched away from your daily ppa (ppa-kicad) since the schematic lib table changes hit because I didn’t have time to deal with that.
I just managed to install kicad-nightly from ppa:js-reynaud/ppa-kicad-nightly and used it to test if a feature request I wanted to make hadn’t already been implemented.
