I don't use Ubuntu, but I do use Debian and I see at least these problems

1) Can the AptUrl ( https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AptUrl ) add a PPA repository?
>From the link it seems like it can only enable/refresh them?
2) This works out of the box only for Firefox (so you still need
instructions for Chrome, but maybe Ubuntu users don't use chrome :))
3) You need to specify 32bit architecture

I have a feeling that the thrid step must be done by user, but maybe there
could be 64bit package that would execute script that would add the package
and then it would have 32bit package as dep?
