A bit unfair (and untrue, in my opinion, since I certainly consider my work on Sigil "real"), but whatever. The main hurdle for a Trusty/14.04 ppa is Sigil's Qt 5.4.x minimum requirement. Currently at Qt5.2.x, I'm just not confident Trusty will ever make it to Qt5.4.2 before 2019.
So any Sigil 0.9.x Trusty compatible ppa will also likely depend on a volunteer Qt 5 ppa (Trusty compatible) that meets the 5.4.2 requirements of Sigil. I hope you get your wish, but I don't consider it very likely. I'm afraid it would exist already if it were.
As the one who wrote the BuildingOnLinux document, it saddens me that it wasn't straight-forward enough for you to follow. Perhaps you can share where it was unclear, or not detailed enough? There are also several people here who have experience building Sigil on Ubuntu (and Linux in general). Feel free to create a thread with specific questions should you like to try building Sigil for yourself again in the future.
