Well, once a package is in the archive, it is kind of "frozen" to a certain extent and can only be updated a limited amount [1]. So it is probably better to package unstable and snapshot versions in a PPA [2]. That way, they can be constantly updated. This is the approach taken by a lot of projects, for example the Chromium team has PPAs [3] for daily builds, official betas, and some stuff in between, while only a relatively stable version goes into the archive.
