I think as long as anyone creating/maintaining an Xastir binary for
Ubuntu, whether it is a PPA or not, copies the Xastir list whenever
the binary is updated (and provides instructions on how to install it
- preferably by updating the Xastir Wiki), we should be fine.  The
users can choose whether they want to change their repository settings
and install a PPA or just download a deb package and install it with
gdebi.
