Yes. The goal si to get rid of PPA's eventually (once snaps are finalized),
but in the meantime we are trying to keep both the PPA and Archive in sync
(for maas/stable <-> ubuntu/main, maas/proposed <-> ubuntu/-proposed).

These will be updated early this week once we finish fixing changes wrt to
L2 spaces. After the next PPA's will be in sync.

Also, please note that we are targeting to move away of PPA's in favor of
snaps once we have a robust MAAS snap.

Hope this help
