Let me see:
1. It took me like 5 mins or so.
2. When (your) new version is propagated to Ubuntu, it will be 
automatically updated over mine (mine has the special 1.0.1~ppa version, 
which is less than 1.0.1-1). The earliest to expect your package to show 
up in Ubuntu is october when 8.10 is released (if they do another update 
from Debian before then).
3. The monotone package in my ppa isn't compatible with the Ubuntu 
version of monotone-viz. So, if you add my ppa to your sources list, 
you'll automatically get a non-working version of monotone-viz.
4. It's actually less work for me to put it in my ppa than to download 
and install it by hand on every single machine (let me see: laptop, 
laptop, desktop, desktop, coworkers's desktop, mum's desktop, that makes 6).

By the way, why does the new monotone-viz package only have a recommends 
for monotone? monotone-viz does use the automate interface. Left-over 
from an earlier version?

I am not particularly emotionally attached to my personal package area. 
If you can tell me a good way to get a couple of packages distributed to 
my machines (all running Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy) in a better way, with (even) 
less work for me, I'd be happy to hear about it. It just so happens that 
the ppa is online so I thought I'd let everybody know what's there...

Cheers,
