Description
Summary
Update from Launchpad PPA to packages.sury.org
Details
Per https://codeberg.org/oerdnj/deb.sury.org/issues/73 the Ubuntu packages for the latest LTS (26.04) are now only available from packages.sury.org. The current download instructions are still based on using the PPA. To ensure latest updates can be applied on all systems, instructions should be rewritten to point to the new location. Likely the Debian instructions can be (mostly) reused as strategy for Ubuntu as well.
Additional context
I'm not sure on the full status of current builds and migrations, so it may be worthwhile checking this before rewriting existing instructions or even checking in with upstream for when redirecting in full is appropriate.

Review the current Ubuntu download instructions and compare them with the existing Debian instructions. Check the status of Ubuntu 26.04 packages on packages.sury.org and the referenced upstream issue before deciding how broadly to migrate. Done means the Ubuntu instructions point to the correct package source and cover applying the latest updates.
