Thanks Richard for answering.

IMHO the lack of being able to add a new ppa (even if it can be a security
problem according to your words - i did have no idea about this) could be a
deal braker for users that like packagekit, i explain: Linux users are
generally willing to test new and rough software, and some other times a big
improvement is made on the "next version" of the app... and the simplest way
to do that is through a ppa. Maybe you could add the option for it in the
"Software Sources" BUT in the moment that this will be done, packagekit
sends a warning about the risks, just an idea :) -- this way, maybe
packagekit could capture more users!

There is another point that i wasn't able to find: how can i change my
download server?

I'm asking and suggesting all of this because it has been suggested that
*maybe* packagekit + gnome-packagekit could replace Synaptics in Lubuntu,
and in order to do so those two points are important for users of *buntu
distros -- and Linux users in general.
