$ apt-cache policy kppp | grep Packages
        500 http://au.archive.ubuntu.com dapper-updates/main Packages

kppp is actually in main - and as far as I know it is installed in Kubuntu
by default

gnome-ppp is in universe, though

The easiest way to add all repositories in Ubuntu is probably to open
System - Administration - Software Properties  and check all the options
for universe, and optionally multiverse
