Bug Description
Binary package hint: ubuntu-dev-tools
ppaput follows up on bug reports stated as closed in the changelog. Fine so far. But the instructions it gives are for the sponsors but not clearly marked as such. Thus users try them out and fail because it does not install a package but only download the source of it.

- That's because once the upload to Ubuntu happens, the bug gets automatically closed.
2) But the instructions it gives are for the sponsors but not clearly marked as such. Thus users try them out and fail because it does not install a package but only download the source of it.
- What do you recommend? Adding a stanza about how to install the test package?
