It seems the PPA that has hosted SaltStack Ubuntu packages is now gone:

That's not a PPA URL at all. All SaltStack PPA's can still be found here.
Whether its a PPA URL or not, it's where I've been downloading the Salt packages from for the last 2~ years. The packages were there earlier this week.
I just would like to understand what has changed. Are the packages now being produced by someone different?

You can always download them from the PPA page directly, by clicking on "View package details", then expand the package you're interested in. However, what's wrong in using the PPA as intended, by adding it to your sources.list.d via add-apt-repository?Whether its a PPA URL or not, it's where I've been downloading the Salt packages from for the last 2~ years.

This is how we handle our salt packages as well.
One additional suggestion, most of the tutorials for hosting your own repo recommend using reprepo.
But reprepo only supports a single version of each package (sounds like the same problem as the ppa's). This means that if you are using apt pins for the packages, when you upload a new version you can no longer install the older version, effectively breaking the pin.
Instead of using reprepo, I highly recommend aptly [1]. The main feature of aptly is serving a local repo mirror. It was a little difficult to figure out how to only serve custom packages, but not impossible.
