** Description changed:

  1.) When running software-properties-gtk on powerpc, it configures
  /etc/apt/source.list with archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu and
  security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu, even although those don't carry the powerpc
  arch anymore; leaving the system update-wise in a dead-end, thus also
  causing the casual non-geek user to miss criticial security updates for
  hardy :-/
  
  2.) when calling software-properties-gtk after having configured
  /etc/apt/source.list manually for ports.ubuntu.com/, software-
  properties-gtk lists the ports.ubunt.com entries as 'third party
  software' sources
+ 
+ TEST CASE (without powerpc):
+ 1. use stock hardy install
+ 2. open System/Administraton/Software sources
+ 3. verify that the main page has at least main, restricted ticked
+ 4. click on "Download from" combobox and select "other"
+ 5. verify that a lot of different servers are available
