The problem we have here is that the review-stats cache we maintain in
s-c is only based on the pkgname, not the origin. This causes the stats
for the commercial photobomb to be shown in the listings for the ppa
photobomb. For oneiric we can't fix this anymore: the first option would
be to look up the origin per app in the list view and only display the
stats if it's ubuntu/partners/commercial and hence no stats if it's in a
ppa - I tried this, but it gives a massive performance hit on the longer
lists so it's not practical. Another option is that we could insure that
we only cache the stats for a pkgname if it's origin is
ubuntu/partners/commercial (ie at db index time), but this requires some
re-engineering that isn't suited for this late in the cycle.

Title:
  Un-reviewed applications from a PPA have 1 star and 1 review

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I noticed this related to Photobomb in an article about Software
  Center. This obviously puts application developers at a significant
  disadvantage. I checked MyApps and it also showed that Photobomb was
  unreviewed. I think the only reason that Photobomb is showing up is
  that I added it from my PPA, though, in which case, maybe it shouldn't
  have any stars.
