Bug Description
When a PPA is created, it is not usable until something is uploaded to it. This makes setting up a PPA for e.g. testing builds annoying to configure on the test machines, because it can't be used.
Possible solutions
==================
* link empty PPAs to an unsigned, empty index repository
* publish empty PPAs

Cody, is not not possible for your scripts to deal with the error from apt?
We have over 8000 PPAs that have never been uploaded to, I don't really want to start publishing empty indices for all those and waste a bunch of disk space.
