[Bug 1284871] [NEW] Feature Request: Better PPA in Software Center

[Nubelite]

Public bug reported:

Issue: Many people install PPA's and some find out the hard way that a
PPA has more then just what they want from it. Usually after doing an
update on their system.

Idea: When adding a PPA it does not override the other apps in the
default ppa, but instead offer another button in the software center.
When searching for the app in the PPA you just installed there is
another install button on the apps description page right under the
default button. Also have it list the PPA the additional button will
install from. Once installed then the update manager will update that
package from the added PPA and only the packages that were installed
from it. leaving the rest of the packages in the PPA untouched so it
will not override a package on the default PPA.

** Affects: software-properties (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
