Bug Description
When I visit a private ppa page and unfold the "technical details" section, I see sources.list lines including my username and p3a token.
However, when ~stephaneee visits one, there are lines that point to private-ppa.l.n but that do not have a username or password. These lines look like they will work, but they of course will not.
I guess this is due to an edge case of someone being in ~admin (or ~registry?) therefore able to see the p3a, but not actually having an access token for it.
Probably it would be better to replace that section with a message saying if you generate a token, you will be able to see the sources.list lines.
(This looks like bug 404279 was fixed incompletely.)
