Ah, I see what you mean. I had a look at the changelog on the Calibre website, and two of the changes are:

Add iPad3 Output Profile
New news sources: SatMagazine by kiavash
Having just checked, my copy of Calibre (from that repo, and reporting to be 0.8.43) has an iPad 3 output profile, and it has a SatMagazine news source, created by kiavash.

So yes, it does appear to be a genuine Calibre 0.8.43. I use this PPA for two reasons. I find it more convenient than upgrading via the command line, and it makes auto-complete in bash work correctly.
