Just thinking out loud here, but I think Zika may have the most sensible
and certainly simplest solution. We already warn that we're disabling
PPA's so maybe we could warn in a very prominent manner (bold font) that
the user would be wise to actually purge PPA's. I need to perform a few
upgrades in the very near future so I'll catch a screenshot of what we
currently say.

One of the greatest quandary's to me is how we'd handle PPA's that had
previously been disabled w/o downgrading or removing packages installed
by that PPA???? I think there would still be a .save in
/etc/apt/sources.list,d representing such PPA's??????
