I am pretty sure you had some versions (e.g. 9.0) in your ppa for some
time, and dropped them afterwards, probably for the above reason that it
was never in a stable release.
Just to make that very, very clear: I am not blaming you for
anything. To the contrary. Your PPA is/was great, and the effort is
very, very much appreciated. Its just that apt.pg.o promises and
hopefully delivers more.
