Bug Description

A person's "50[1] Most[2] recently uploaded" PPA packages are listed in the "Related Software" section of their profile, for example <https://edge.launchpad.net/~pablo.marcondes/+packages>. Separately, they are listed in the "Personal Package Archive" section of their profile, for example <https://edge.launchpad.net/~pablo.marcondes/+archive>. This is confusing duplication.

One way of fixing this would be for the "Packages {person} maintains" section of the "Related Software" page to end with a cross-reference to "See also _{person}'s {count} PPA packages_", if there are any. If they don't maintain any packages, the text could be of the form "{person} doesn't maintain any distribution packages Launchpad knows about, but they do have _{count} PPA packages_."

Another way of fixing this would be to merge the "Related Software" and "Personal Package Archive" sections somehow.

[1] It's not really 50.
[2] Shouldn't be capitalized.

What we are actually doing is listing an individual's PPA contributions in this section; they could have packages uploaded to a person PPA, a team PPA, or a distribution PPA.

Perhaps this is an issue with the section wording.
