This seems not to be about PPAs, but about packages and installed files. (1) If you want to know which package a particular installed file was installed by, use dpkg -S /path/to/file For example, to see which package the file /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/openbox-3/themerc was installed by, you can run the command dpkg -S /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/openbox-3/themerc which outputs openbox: /usr/share/themes/Clearlooks/openbox-3/themerc So, that file was installed by the openbox package. (2) If you want to know what files are installed by a particular package, you can do dpkg -L packagename For example, to see all the files installed by lubuntu-artwork, run the command dpkg -L lubuntu-artwork to output the (long) list of files installed by lubuntu-artwork. Many of these are under /usr/share/themes/Lubuntu-default/ so your suspicion about those files all being installed by lubuntu-artwork-13-04 may well be inaccurate :) (3) If you manually download a .deb file but have not yet installed it, and wish to know what files it contains, try using the command dpkg -c packagename.deb to output a list of the package contents. (4) Finally, note that files within user home directories, such as ~/.themes/ by definition were not directly installed by any Ubuntu package -- it is against Debian and Ubuntu policy for a package to install files there.
