I'd find it difficult to justify continued support for Jaunty if it was 
going to require significant effort, but in this case it looks like a 
no-change upload will suffice for Jaunty and Karmic - I've just done one 
in https://edge.launchpad.net/~maxb/+archive/launchpad/+packages to 
test. Therefore, we might consider continuing to support Jaunty until 
some other issue comes up which makes dropping it worth our while.

The Hardy builds however ended up with unsatisfied build-deps, so will 
need a bit more tweakage.
