[Launchpad Bug Tracker <339951@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

The current PPA front page is designed to serve the owner of the PPA and
I suppose it is well suited for that purpose. However, problems arise
when PPA unaware users are directed to that page.

Use case:
 1.) Joe Artist wants to install a piece of painting software currently unavailable in Ubuntu
 2.) Jane has packaged the software and throws her PPA front page url to Joe

What currently happens:
 3.) Joe doesn't understand a thing
 4.) Jane drops her rather important packaging tasks and helps Joe to get his stuff done
 5.) Joe thanks Jane for her help desk work

What should happen:
 3.) Joe takes a look and understands this is a place where he can get custom packaged software from Jane
 4.) By reading the page further Joe is able to start using the PPA without further help from Jane
 5.) Joe thanks Jane for her packaging work
