Celso, looking at your ppa (and assuming that's what it's going to look like for all of us) I see that below the apt sources.list entries it mentions the ppa being signed and provides a link to the key. So far, so good.

But it then continues with a second link saying "Follow these instructions if you want to install packages from this PPA", suggesting to the reader there's specific instructions available dealing with using a signed ppa. Instead, one gets to a generic page that is mostly about a ppa owner's side of things, with a procedure for actually adding a ppa hidden behind a second link. (Adding to that, said procedure seems to depend on having a standard graphical ubuntu install using gnome, and has only a very minor part dedicated to the key/signing stuff.)

Anything beyond mentioning the archive being signed and providing the link to the key seems unnecessary; any ppa owner that feels detailed usage instructions are necessary could add those in the ppa description?
