The official download link leads to the ppa. However the ppa recommends to use official binaries.
Which one should then be used and where downloaded from?

Just to clarify the issue, on bitcoin.org/en/download , there's an "Ubuntu" link:

Clicking that link takes you to a page that says,

2017-02-10-14_20_08_192984721


Maybe a simple solution for bitcoin.org/en/download is to rename "Ubuntu (PPA)" to "Unofficial PPA". E.g.

download: Note Ubuntu PPA as Unofficial
This fixes #1506 and provides additional clarity to the Ubuntu link by
adding a note that the PPA is Unofficial.

@harding @Pixdigit Thanks. Just opened #1507 to resolve this. I added a note underneath the link so that people who don't recognize the Ubuntu logo will still know it's an Ubuntu PPA (and also that it's unofficial).

I closed #1507 unmerged based on the discussion there. There didn't seem to be much weight one way or the other in the convo (and no additional comments) so let's just leave as-is.
