OK, I've just been chatting with Martin about this and he had similar thoughts to mine above, so if you've got any feedback, please provide it now :). The idea would be, directly under the "Published versions and upstream associations" table we'd have something like:

"""
There are also some unsupported external versions of 'rabbitmq-server' from the community in the following PPAs:

Table with headings: PPA Name (owner) | PPA Description (first 10 words?) | Versions
Row 1: Official rabbitmq-server nightly builds (rabbitmq-team) | This is the rabbitmq-server team ... | karmic (1.5.5-0ubuntu1ppa0), jaunty (1.5.4-0ubuntu1ppa4)
Row 2: PPA of Joe Blogs (joe-blogs) | My experimental PPA | karmic (1.5.5-0ubuntu5wrong

You can view <link>all the unsupported external PPA versions of 'rabbitmq-server'</link>
"""

Currently we don't necessarily need to limit the results as we don't have that many, but we should create a bug to limit by rank (when we have ppa rankings of some kind). If it's easy, we could limit it to 3 ordered by most-recent upload.

For the moment, the link to view PPA's with that package will simply go to the ppa search page for that package (eg. https://edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas?name_filter=rabbitmq-server), but we can create a bug to update this later to it's own ppa packages page with more relevant information.
