well, actually it depends on the download capacity. One can make his own choice. The SVN PPA is there for people who doesn't want to bother having to make the build themselves .
Furthermore this daily build build also for AMD64 so we can now detect if the build failed on that platform and know that we introduced a code that is not 64bit compliant.
There is still a lot of people building themselves from svn.
BTW, synaptic won't download xbmc automatically (because the PPA is not a certified repository , since we have no GPG key for it). So synaptic will tell you that there is an update and it's up to you to take it or not.
