Bug Description
I have discovered a method which makes it possible to shoehorn more than 1gb of packages into a PPA. Now that multiple PPAs are available, it is possible to create a second PPA and upload packages to it. Then, the packages can be copied directly from the non-full PPA to the full one, without any apparent size checks.
I feel somewhat guilty reporting this bug, considering I have exploited it on several occasions. Sorry.

Right, we are aware of this issue, but it's not a big problem since copies to not generate extra data in our databases, only consumes disks on the PPA machines.
Anyway, it would be nice if we could keep disk usage controlled by respecting quota on copies.
