I've had a few users of my PPA's (mythbuntu,mythbuntu-trunk,ipod-touch)
complaining about stuff like this happening:

Yeah updating the apt package lists doesn't change anything for the affected folks.

Hi Mario,
This issue is a known bug in the PPA code that generates archive
indexes, see https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/165230.
As the schooltool's zope3 package, you use 'Pre-depends' in your
package and LP doesn't include it in the indexes, once it's installed
apt gets confused by this difference (local metadata and ppa-index
metadata), assumes the package has changed and tries to install it
again.
BTW, isn't 'Pre-Depends: debconf' unnecessary ?
Anyway, If you can safely avoid the use of the following
control-fields in your packages until we get our code fixed,
installations from your PPA will be fine
See https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/soyuz/+bug/172308 for more
information on this task.
Sorry for this inconvenience, we will be working to get it fixed ASAP.
