The problem is that you are recommending packages without also 
mentioning that support for these packages should not be sought from ubuntu.

Yes, *you* may know that, but many regular users don't.

It is a big deal only because of the sheer volume of support requests 
repositories like this generate to ubuntu.

I'm trying to find a link to an official ubuntu statement about people 
recommending 3rd party repositories and where support requests should be 
directed afterward.  If anyone can provide this link I'd appreciate it.
