OK, I'm not worrying about this any longer, other than to see if we can 
implement Robert's plan to get buildbot automatically updated.

The last thing I'll note about this is that thedac reports that 
pigeonpea abnd pilinut have python-lpbuildd 100~0.IS.10.04 while my 
local lxc has 111-0~49~lucid1.  Maybe that discrepancy is related.  I'm 
not bothering with it.

Thanks all.
