Yesterday I installed the LMDE(Linux Mint based Debian Jessie),which is

one thing ! Maybe debian will not support ppa ,
because in the talk of Neil McGovern, he says some weakness of ppa! And
from the development of Debian ,
ppa's development seems to be not able to ensure its stablity!
What's your opinion?

I don't know what openyoudao is but when running Debian it is highly
First , openyoudao is an open source project on the github! The designer
says we can use ppa to install it!
recommended not to mix repositories with Ubuntu or other linux
distributions. In your case you are not even running Debian but only
Debian based Mint (as far as I know though LMDE is Debian compatible in
the repository level).
Second , I run Debian Jessie on my desktop! It can install software from
ppa! I forget to note it! I'm sorry!
That said you can try to install the .deb package with other ways (for
example using gdebi) but the main drawback (apart from any
inconsistencies already mentioned) is that the package won't be updated
with the rest of the system because apt/synaptic will not be able to do
this.
At last , I want to talk about the future of ppa in Debian! Even the
leader has said the weakness of ppa! Maybe Debian will not use ppa!
Maybe LMDE is just a hint! Isn't it!?
