Hi,
Thanks Trent. More learning curve. Doesn't it ever stop? :-)

I'm pretty sure the only thing I use from Daniel Richter is

Just wondering, if anyone knows, whether any updates for my
grub-customizer will continue to be detected and installed in the
future? Or is it now "orphaned"... in an updating sense of the word?
You want to look at "apt-cache policy".
The numbers are explained in apt-preferences(5) manpage.
(I don't understand it properly myself.)
If you're quacking for details, try keyword "pinning".
This only applies if someone actually packages new versions
& uploads them to the apt repos you're using.
Whether that will happen in a PPA is up to the PPA owner.
Whether that will happen in an official Ubuntu repo depends on the
presence of e.g. "Supported: 6mo" field in "apt-cache show foo" (for
security updates) and <I don't know> for -backports &c repos.
