Phil,

Please keep a clear distinction between Ubuntu and other related things.  
There is an Ubuntu archive that's supported by the Ubuntu project.  Many 
people like to provide other packages in PPAs (such as this), but they are 
most emphatically not part of Ubuntu.  People installing software from PPAs 
need to do their own due diligence as there is absolutely no external QA or 
security checks done of what goes into a PPA, so it's important that people 
understand if they are doing thing from the official archive or not.
