Now you complete confused me!

Download page says:
"If you use one of our ubuntugis based repositories you also need to add  
following line:
deb     http://ppa.launchpad.net/ubuntugis/ubuntugis-unstable/ubuntu  
*codename* main"

The amount of digestible information on the download page unfortunately  
did not improve in the last years, but for me this clearly says that you  
have to activate http://qgis.org/ubuntugis plus the ppa! So where are the  
"differences" then?

Actually, when installing/upgrading, I always do a lot of trial and error  
until the stuff works as expected (having all the bells and whistles of  
ubuntugis, otherwise qgis is quite crippled!) without being able to  
memorize which combination did the trick in the end.

Since 2.12, I even have http://qgis.org/debian activated. This combination  
for some versions works, for some not.
With the update to 2.14, even the grass plugin now for the first time  
seems to work.
Only two more lines of explanation in the documentation would do the trick  
to prevent users from planlessly installing/unistalling/adding  
repos/removing repos I think.

Cheers
Bernd
