Bug Description
I use a lot of PPA sources and I'm sick and tired of seeing an update from a PPA and not being able to tell which PPA it comes from.
God forbid a conflict occurs. I wouldn't know which source to remove!

I have been having to manually downgrade individual packages after a ppa set of upgraded libraries has broken software such as Blender.
This manual process is timeconsuming and fraught with difficulties.
I am going to register a basic blueprint for showing individual ppas instead of lumping all Launchpad ppas together.
