What about this: we make a PPA of the binary and just direct everyone

This has come up before, and it always seems to screech to a halt when
we get to the point where someone needs to make the PPA. :)
That's another item on my post-thesis todo list, if no one beats me to
it.
In any case, at https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA it says a PPA
only gets 1 GB of disk space, which is problematic for Sage. (You can
ask for more, though.)
I was browsing the lists and they seem to have given more to anyone
who needs it.
Perhaps we should add "create a PPA for Sage" to
our GSoC projects?
