Hi Apostolos, I'm not an expert and don't know if this is a bug, but there are several verifications that occur, when adding the ppd file. We just recently submitted the SXDE sys admin books, where this tool is documented fairly well. Here's the link. See the information in the reference chapter for what you are looking for, then check the task chapter.
You might find the info helpful, if not now, for future use.
