I'm currently chasing down a production regression, so not going to
yak shave just this second - but I'm going to speculate that it was
built into the PPA, but not for lucid.

If that speculation is correct - please remember as we run on lucid,
*every* package we build into the PPA needs to be done, identically,
for lucid - which probably means build on lucid and copy forwards,
without exception. Otherwise developers cannot reproduce the
production environment, which is a critical facility for them.
