#### Tools for creating, installing, and modifying PPAs

This primarily focuses on functionality needed by owners of PPAs, to
assist in their creation, deletion, and configuration. A key
functionality is to poll and wait until the package(s) in the PPA have
completed building; this permits blocking on the builds to delay other
actions such as requesting users on a bug report to test the PPA, or
submitting a merge proposal for the update to be considered for
inclusion in the distro.
