The OS-detection code exists primarily to decide how the Juju
servers/agents should be installed, configured, and how they should behave
at runtime. We should stop being so pedantic on the client side.

Having said that, it would be simplest in the short term to extend the
OS/series-detection code to handle openSUSE as well: this would address
your immediate goal, and would also pave the way for running workloads on
openSUSE, should that ever be desirable. We would be happy to review and
merge patches to detect the openSUSE version.

The PPAs are only there for developing and testing Juju. You do not need
them to build and run the client only.
