Bug Description

Following the mistaken creation of dapper.0 and before we found somebody with DELETE privileges to get rid of it, the publisher crashed every time as follows:

10:07:57 DEBUG Finding distribution and distrorelease objects.
10:07:57 DEBUG Finding configuration.
10:07:57 ERROR No Lucille configuration section for dapper.0

It would be really good if "never heard of this distrorelease" were handled by skipping that distrorelease rather than crashing.

Doing this is actually not as easy as it sounds. The reason is that the publisher assumes in many places that /all/ releases it is considering have lucille configs set up; we'd need to refactor some code to actually be able to do this. At any rate while this is bad it is also going to bite us only very rarely.

Bit OEM today when Jaunty was created and the publishers stopped.

As mentioned in bug #291344, this is another symptom of a wider problem in a way out code expects new distroseries to be created and immeditely initialized.

In the context of this bug, I think we should get rid of 'lucilleconfig' and use ComponentSelection. First, because python-config text format in DB is gross, and then, from the design PoV, CS will better coupled (dynamically adjustable) with the publishing system.
