Those instructions are starting to look rather overcomplicated.

1) launchpad-developer-dependencies depends on launchpad-dependencies so
there's no purpose to mentioning the latter explicitly

2) Rather than enumerating individual packages that are contained in the
PPA for manual upgrade:

 * the advice should be to upgrade anything upgradable after you've
added the PPA and updated your package lists

 * the dependencies packages should ideally use suitable version clauses
to force installation of the PPA versions, where lucid contains an
inadequate version
