The IRC logs show a recent conversation (again) about Sage packaging for 
Ubuntu.  We all know it would be a massive amount of work to update 
things, which almost no one knows how to do.

@debian experts: Is it easy to make a PPA package for Sage and put it on 
launchpad?

We tell people it's easy enough to just download the binary, unzip, and 
run it.  But it seems just a tad bit easier (and much more comfortable) 
if someone can just add something to their apt sources and get automatic 
updates, etc.  I know that if I have a choice between installing a 
package and installing a PPA, I usually use the PPA since it is 
automatically updated.

Thanks,

Jason
