I think that including the PPA and/or user display name in the key is
reasonable even though they can possibly change. It's rare that
they'll change substantially, and in the future (as a wishlist type
thing) Launchpad could even generate new GPG UIDs when this happens.
After all it's quite possible for me to change either my real name or
my email address yet I put them both in gpg keys that I generate
myself.
I think blocking name changes for users with PPAs would be getting it
a bit backwards. People will or should know this will change their
PPA URL and I expect they'd rarely do it, and there may be some cases
with team PPAs where it's useful.
