yes I add the following line to my sources.list

deb http://packages.mate-desktop.org/repo/ubuntu quantal main
I haven't had any problems so far.
I think I'm a bit like you I prefer to build my own Ubuntu or Debian rather than use something like Snowlinux - although I'm sure there's nothing wrong with it.
