PPA and packaging 101

[Mario Limonciello]

Jordan,

As I mentioned in #ubuntu-motu, I've been using the PPA service for some
time now for the mythbuntu builds.  I'll be glad to help with this
PPA/packaging 101.   After a few more people respond, propose a few times on
W & R, and we can see what would be good.

Regards,

Mario Limonciello
