[Matthew Revell <matthew.revell@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

Discussion between Julian Edwards and Matthew Revell identified the
following necessary updates for the PPA tour page:

 * Use cases for PPAs:
  * testing
  * backports
  * customised versions of software that upstream won't take
 * Consider alternatives to "APT repository" -- or use tooltip help
 * "Search PPAs >" to become "Browse PPAs >"
 * Icon for PPAs to come -- check with Martin
 * Boxes below the fold: rewrite and add mention of multiple PPAs plus P3As.
 * Find a better example of a PPA -- scrub the now defunct CMPC
 * Consider getting some graphics for below the fold
 * Consider new header graphic: stylised life-cycle --- dev --> upload --> PPA builds --> people download and install/use software
 * Text rewrite: emphasise ease of building and distribution -- LP does the hard work for you.
 * PPAs empower the individual developer -- *anyone* can publish a package at *any* time.
