Hi Kyle,
I can certainly try it, though I don't doubt the latest versions of juju

I do understand your concerns. However the use of juju from PPA also means
that if something changes in upstream juju (which is what's available in
the PPA - latest juju), then they might be breaking something with older
releases of MAAS.
For this reason, and more, it is also why we are in the process of
providing an update for MAAS in Precise (and Quantal). But not to worry, we
are currently looking at the issue now.

The PPA version of the maas package will land in precise-updates, which
won't require users to add any other repositories.
Hope this information helps. If you have any further concerns, issues, need
some help or anything, please don't hesitate to contact me directly or
through IRC.
Best regards.
