Personal Package Archives (ppa) are especially compiled for Ubuntu and can cause severe trouble on a Debian system.

In your case probably the repo-path is wrong as well. Launchpad uses the name of the Ubuntu version the package is compiled for, so it should read raring, saucy, trusty etc. but never jessie. That's why you get "404 Not Fournd".
