Bug Description
The ppa packaging is not the same as the packaging used for archive uploading. We recreate a separate package for archive upload using the same source tarball, but with a different packaging source branch.
The branches are similar and have to be updated independently of each other to stay in sync with various changes. We should close this gap and use the same debian package for ppa and archive uploading.

Raising this bug because the secondary affect of this is we're releasing slightly different binaries in the ppa versus the archive due to the dependency differences. We test with one version of packaging, release to a PPA with another, and finally put into the archive with yet a third packaging branch.
This is crazy to keep in sync, and represents a potential source of bugs both from human error, and from the actual binary differences.
