Title:
  Revise PPA description?

Status in ubuntu-docs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  In addremove.html and addremove-sources.html (16.10 help) the "Add a
  Personal Package Archive (PPA)" section is described as follows "Add
  PPAs to help test pre-release or specialty software". This description
  is inaccurate since a PPA is just a way of distributing software, it
  doesn't have to be used for distributing software in order for it to
  be tested and the software distributed doesn't have to be "pre-release
  or specialty".

  I suggest we simply change the description to something like this "Add
  PPAs to extend the software sources Ubuntu uses for installation and
  upgrades".
