Check/Uncheck updates from ppa inverts selection of packages

[Joost]

If i uncheck or check a PPA in the updatemanager view than the selection setting of all the packages under that particular PPA will only be inverted. While that is correct most of the time it is not correct in the following situation:

Deselect a package from a PPA.
Deselect the entire PPA

Result: The unselected packages are now selected. The previously selected packages are now (correctly) deselected.

Suggestion: Unselecting a PPA must not simply invert the settings of all underlying packages. It must also check what the current setting is and keep this into account. If the package is already deselected -> do nothing.

Same goes for reselecting a PPA.
