Good question.  I've never tried ppa-purge.  Judging from the manual
page it should work fine, since it's supposed to replace the PPA
packages with older official versions from the main archive.

I use Update Manager to upgrade to a newer Ubuntu version without
running ppa-purge first.  I'm technical enough to believe that I can
manage to recover from a broken upgrade, if something goes wrong.
