Matthew, I think the above headings would help *if and only if* the "Untrusted versions in PPAs" information was information that really 'belonged' on this page, as opposed to additional related information. As it is, at least to me, the above headings give the impression that the "Untrusted versions in PPAs" are just as relevant as the other level-two headings.

Which is why I still prefer something along the lines of:

http://launchpadlibrarian.net/28417295/bug-280958-4-with-border-and-ppa-icon.png

(with the additional 'untrusted' wording), because it implies that it is additional related information, rather than core information related to the distribution source package. Scott seemed to think so too (see above).

We could easily collapse the PPA information by default, ie:

> See related PPA versions (when you click it drops down displaying the above).

And of course, background colours and borders are simple style changes if you have recommendations. Please let me know your thoughts...

As I mentioned previously, I do think that Michael's mockup using a table is easier to read, but think it also nudges it back to looking as important as the versions published in Ubuntu, at least to me.

Looking forward to finalising this ui change! (And yes, I also agree that we need to stick to a design that is achievable now, rather than a major redesign).
