Public bug reported:
Using a non-existing Launchpad user as an example. The same error
messages will occur if a user mistypes the ppa username when attempting
to add the repo.

If I attempt to add a PPA entering a real username but a repo which doesn't
belong to that user, I get a list of which repos that user provides. I realize
it is not possible to list every existing username on Launchpad, but I believe
this should be handled more gracefully. For instance the user may get a simple
error message saying the user 'doesntexist' is not on Launchpad with
suggestions to doublecheck the name for potential typos.
