I prefer it in the ppa.txt since I always cut and paste from there to
build the packages. Means it is only in one place and the scripts
don't have to source a config file with it defined.

I'll kick that off now. But that raises a question. What is our policy
on Ubuntu releases that are no longer supported? Should we keep
building packages for them. Also should we remove the packages from
the PPA for releases we don't want to support.

Cheers,
