Martin, have you got time to do some mockups for how this could be done safely?

My own opinion is that while it might be ok to show a preview of the first few ppas with this package (clearly identified and, in the future, ranked), it should just be a preview with a link to a separate page where they really belong and where the full ppa results could be batched etc. (as in the future there could be lots of ppas matching a given package). So something like:

"There are also some unsupported versions of 'rabbitmq-server' from the community such as:
  * example 1
  * example 2
  * example 3
You can view <link>all the unsupported PPA versions of 'rabbitmq-server'</link>"

The current PPA search page provides the results, but not in the format a user in this scenario would be after:

https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=rabbitmq-server

Also, given that the original links now 404, here's some new example links:

* Celso's PPA with rabbitmq-server:
https://edge.launchpad.net/~cprov/+archive/ppa

* Same package in Ubuntu:
https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rabbitmq-server
