Bug description:
  Impact
  ------
  As announced, the GNOME3 PPAs for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS are no longer being maintained as of April 2017. Therefore, the Ubuntu GNOME project would like to stop receiving bugs from packages installed from those PPAs for that version, or for 14.04 LTS which is no longer supported by Ubuntu GNOME.

  See https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/ubuntu/gnome3

  Test Case
  ---------
  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
  sudo apt update
  sudo apt upgrade

  Ubuntu 14.04:
  ubuntu-bug gnome-system-monitor

  Ubuntu 16.04:
  ubuntu-bug nautilus

  What should happen:
  After several moments, you should see a popup with
  The GNOME3 PPA you are using is no longer supported for this Ubuntu release. Please run "ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3".

  Clean up:
  sudo apt install ppa-purge
  sudo ppa-purge ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

  Other Info
  ----------
  Ubuntu GNOME has always installed ppa-purge by default.

  Regression Potential
  --------------------
  People will be unable to report bugs with PPA packages like they used to but they'll be told why. The message unfortunately likely won't be translated right away, but since it will land in the development release, it should eventually be translated for future Ubuntu releases.
