Not sure -- the documentation for the PPA system leaves much to be desired.  

As far as I can tell, when you push a new version of a package, the old version moves into "superseded" 
status, at which point it's no longer available to end users or other PPAs.  This is in contrast to a normal 
Debian repository, where old packages and new packages live in harmony together.

If anyone knows how to alter this behavior I'd love to know!
