When I look again at the current proposals linked in the description and first just look at the presentation of the information it wants to convey then both the table layout and the two-line items (ppas-in-packages.png) make the data easy to read. The items in bug-280958-5-with-border-and-icon-untrusted.png make it hard to find where one piece of infomation ends and the next one starts. This is much better solved in the two-line items proposal as the PPA name and the owner are seperated by some non-linked text (and therefore different color) and the icons before the links itself. Moving the version list into the second item completes it then.

Looking at the integration of the data into the page itself:
- ppas-in-packages.png: nice idea but the right-align of the data looks at at first glance like a display/positioning error to me (too much whitespace left of the data)
- thinking about the boxes from the other proposals again I get slowly the impression that it gets that way too much emphasis than it's really intended and moves it more into the foreground instead of background.

As this PPA infomation is more a side-note in the context of this page, it would be good to place it at the side (but it's already used by the portlets). ppas-in-packages.png seems to try to do it by right-aligning the data (but not really successfull).
