Thanks Chris. That could indeed be useful. One should always remember, though, that with a ppa one is reliant on the integrity of the packager to build what you are expecting. There is nothing to stop someone modifying the code for nefarious purposes and building it into a ppa. Looking at the packagers profile, however, there does not seem to be anything that would lead one to worry about his/her integrity.
