Indeed, but please note that for being able to support multipackaging 
(ie. creating multiple valid components on eg. Launchpad), the patch 
with the Source field is still needed (which was included post 3.4 freeze).

At least, this is enough for having your packages built on your own ppa 
on Launchpad (3.4.1 should include the Source field as well). Note: the 
new version of cmake should also be referenced by your PPA.
