Bug Description
Currently, the PPA copy page shows 20 results, but does not allow viewing any more without filtering the result. A fix to bug 225012 will mitigate this somewhat, but it would be useful to be able to paginate properly through the list anyway.

This bug had a serious impact on me today. I was copying a large quantity of packages from a team's testing ppa to the team's release ppa. I selected all of the packages that came up on the copy page (thinking that it was listing all of them). I then proceeded to copy them to the team's release ppa. The issue was, not all of the packages in the ppa were copied (because they were not all displayed). This caused problems when people went to install the packages from the release ppa, because not all of the dependencies were available.
I later tried to go back and use the filter approach to copy the missing packages. This also caused an issue. I thought that Launchpad would remember which packages I had selected even if I updated the filter. It turns out that this was not the case. As a result, in order to get the remaining packages copied, I had to filter and copy them one by one to the other ppa.
