I am not sure I understand just how Benoit is creating the PPA, which is 
different from the way I create the repo here.
if it was signed then It should be possible to add it as a repo to 
Debian as I did above.
But I did think there was an apt extension for Debian that allowed to 
access a PPA

try : for Debian 12 this works for me

> su
# apt install pip
# apt install software-properties-common
#|apt  install python3-launchpadlib
|# add-apt-repository  "deb 
https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/gambas-team/gambas3/ubuntu jammy main"
# add-apt-repository  "deb-src 
https://ppa.launchpadcontent.net/gambas-team/gambas3/ubuntu jammy main"
# apt update

Hope this helps
