[kubuntu-ppa backports-landing] Pls remove any packages related to Unity-8 (still considered xperimental-state and otherwise available)

[Flames_in_Paradise]

hi!

Interestingly the CI-train-bot copied over some Unity-8 packages [1].

Apart from the subject that these packages still have to be considered as state eq "experimental" the project [2] has it's own sources.

Considering the amount of time beeing spent in regards to the Kubuntu, it's certainly not intended to garden these too + they won't show up as superseeded by common sources [3].

They should by no means walk over to the ppa-backports, even not with best intentions. In very special as it may lead testers away to concentrate on the flavour of Ubuntu we are about.

Best wishes for the beta-release!

"confirmed" since I can trust my eyes

CI bot did not copy these packages. clivejo did with yofels permission.

Updated the description - since it doesn't make sense to keep unreferenced packages in error.
