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.
