This is very cool, and I just installed it on my laptop as I always launch it via terminal normally, but I thought I'd get with the program (and try the PPA out). I'm wondering if this is in fact a safer way to install the Dash wallet? Or can this PPA be hacked easier than the git or website download? Just wondering, as we can't check the hash this way??
The safest way to install Dash is to clone the git repo and use gitian to create the binaries and compare the gitian.sigs with other builds/sources.
PPA is a common and convenient way for Ubuntu users to populate their system - the packages are signed, the source package has the exact same hash value than git and can be verified as well.
I don't say this form of distribution is safe from hacking, same goes for Windows Update and Apple Store. It's the users choice to trust my digital signatures or not.
