Thanks for your time as well, but this is way beyond the scope of the 100 Paper Cuts project. You may want to review https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PaperCut for a definition of what a "paper cut" is.

A better way to propose and drive enhancements of this complexity is to draft feature specifications: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/FeatureSpecifications .

Also note that it's among the future goals in Software Center (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#October%202010) to establish trust level ratings for PPAs and make it possible to add them through a graphical interface, which will provide the mechanism for secure optional software updates from PPAs.
