Well @stevepusser from forums.debian.net helped me :)

The trick is to create a package from the ppa. The official tutorial with much more details can be found here: debian/wiki/CreatePackageFromPPA

But to install powernap you should follow these steps:

- Install the Debian SDK: apt-get install devscripts build-essential

- Add the PPA source url to your sources.list:

1. Find the deb-src by "Adding this PPA to your system" > "Technical details about this PPA"
   For powernap it's https://launchpad.net/~powernap/+archive/ubuntu/ppa
2. Add the source to your source lists:
   echo "deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/powernap/ppa/ubuntu utopic main" > /etc/apt/sources.list.d/powernap.list
3. Add the keys to your system:
   apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys <signing key>
4. IMPORTANT!! Update your sources:
   apt-get update
5. Create a folder for the *.deb files:
   cd ~ && mkdir powernap && cd powernap
6. Build your files:
   apt-get source --build powernap
