Title:
  Better handling of upgrade failures caused by PPA

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  Many upgrade failures reported during upgrade from 10.10 to 11.04 are caused by packages installed from PPAs.
  A very common PPA is xorg-edgers.

  Update manager should at least manage this specific case and determine
  if a package from xorg-edgers is blocking the upgrade, or better, it
  should report to the user if a non-official package from any PPA and
  which package is blocking the upgrade.
