While I have seen PPAs mentioned in the IRC logs, searches do not turn 
up hits in the email archives. But looking through the GnuCash related 
PPAs, it appears that only one (ppa:ubuntuhandbook1/gnucash 
https://launchpad.net/~ubuntuhandbook1/+archive/ubuntu/gnucash) is 
somewhat up to date.

An alternative for those using older Ubuntu releases who do not want to 
use flatpacks or compile GnuCash themselves. But the caveat here would 
be that since the PPA is not maintained by the GnuCash team, they would 
not be responsible for bugs/issues. On the plus side, updates to 
Finance::Quote can be done normally using cpan/cpanm.

Lastly, I was curious if the devel team ever thought about offering 
GnuCash packages through a PPA in addition to flatpacks?
