The packages were released via the ubuntu-boot team PPAs and tested without
major issues. The problem was not the packages, the problem was the buildds not
being happy in the middle of moving the packages into the archive. With that
said, a discussion has started on how we can modify update-manager, so that in
the future we can basically stop users from upgrading packages when we know the
archive is foobar'd.
