Bug Description

The related packages page [1] displays a useless list of deleted packages when the user in question is signed in. It is useless because they were deleted along with the corresponding PPAs and are unrecoverable. Restoring is not mentioned in documentation [2]. At least the missing entries could be highlighted differently.

[2] https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA?action=show&redirect=PPA#Deleting_a_PPA

That page isn't a list of PPAs, but a log of the packages you've uploaded.

It's a log of actions you've performed, not a list of packages that can be recovered.

Lots of them wouldn't be recoverable even if the PPA still existed, because deleted packages are removed entirely after a week or so.

Pretty useless and confusing anyway.
