Bug Description
Installing third party packages via
add-apt-repository ppa:<name of ppa>
should be copy-pasteable on the web pages.
Currently, a user has to click "(Read about installing)" to see the full command, and still can't copy-paste something.
Please make the add-apt-repository ppa:<name of ppa> syntax copy-pasteable all over the place at least for launchpad-hosted packages. This is much easier for average users and it's ways more realistic that they use it and install software in a safe manner and without googling to some other (potentially intrustworthy) place.

Oh yeah, I've wanted a copy-pastable apt-add-repository command on launchpad PPA description pages for a while. Thanks for taking the time to file the bug.
