I kind of misspoke in a way -- it's not the PPA that has to be old, as all PPAs from a given owner are signed with the same key. It sounds slightly more tractable to have Launchpad generate new keys for each owner and sign new PPAs with that key. But a) not in time for noble b) this doesn't really solve the problem anyway.
