Hi,

I'm not on 19.04. However, regarding the package search at least
the meta-packages are provided, for 19.04, too.

kubuntu-desktop is a hard dependency of kubuntu-full

https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/kubuntu-full

https://packages.ubuntu.com/disco/kubuntu-desktop

you might want to install one of those meta-packages.

Likely 19.04 also provides the tasks. I don't know if it makes a
difference, if you install a task or a meta-package. AFAIK by
installing the meta-package, you automatically install the task, since
tasksel is installed by default and IIUC if it is installed, then apt
automatically installs the task.

You don't need to add a PPA to get the regular Kubuntu packages, since
thy are provided by the official "universe" repository.
