Resending to unity-dev@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

Hello,

Please respond if you make use of the unity-team/staging ppa, [1], and 
would be impacted if it was removed. This PPA represents that latest 
version of trunk for a portion of the unity desktop stack.

We would like to remove this PPA as we are already building the raring 
packages in the jenkins autolanding environment and rebuilding these 
inside the launchpad PPA is mostly redundant. Removing the PPA would 
free up some launchpad build resources.

The primary differences are:
 - Jenkins is only building raring packages (or whatever the current 
development release is), the PPA is building raring and quantal.
 - The jenkins packages are currently behind a Canonical VPN. It may be 
possible to copy them to a public IP if this is an issue.
