Bug Description

Pressing "Enable developer mode" adds a PPA on device which can break e.g. today with qt 5.0.2.

Should probably not enable the ppa on device unless the developer really wants / needs it.

alan@deep-thought:~$ grep -n ppa /usr/share/qtcreator/ubuntu/scripts/qtc_device_developertools
29:$ADB apt-add-repository ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-proper -y

This bug is both about fixing the Qt 5.0.2 application breakages and deciding whether or not we shoul dbe enabling the PPA by default for packages sent to the device.

So, the root issue here is that packages that have not been tested thoroughly and verified that it does not break _anything_/_any_ app should *not* go to ppa:canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-proper.

Saucy transition is planned possibly mid next week, at which point the PPA would not be needed anymore, so I believe this is useful change anyhow? Although PPA usage might be needed again when 13.10 has been released.

Reassigning to JP who does the creator plugin.
