I just hit this issue with Oneiric. Would be really cool to have this
fixed.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  update-manager encountered unhandled exception when attempting to
  download changelog for the ubuntu-private-fonts package. This package
  comes from a private ppa. Private PPAs have different URL entry with
  user:pass at ... that confuses some of update-manager code.

  Note, above I replaced the actual password with 'XXX' sequence
