Public bug reported:
Since PPAs often have cryptic urls (or the ppa/user name gives no
obvious hint about the purpose), one can add a comment to each ppa via
'Applications & Updates → Other Software → Edit → Comment'. This comment
or label is then usually highlighted in bold font in the list and makes
it easier to grasp for what package the PPA was added.
When upgrading the distribution, Ubuntu not only deactivates the active
PPAs, but also replaces the entire comment by "disabled on upgrade to
vivid". This is a loss of user data, and makes it really hard to
distinguish PPAs, restore the comments or understand why packages are
mysteriously missing or not updated.
