Although I generally agree with your conclusions, using a PPA is the type of end user task that involved them making modifications to the repositories on their systems. I would assume that anyone who has done so, and who is already running Linux instead of Windows, is fully capable of handling a “downgrade” to an official package. Asking users to remove the PPA they manually added and install an official package doesn’t really seem like that hard of an ask to me. -- Soren Stoutner so...@debian.org
