Thanks SR, I did wait a day or so.  Julian tells me over IRC that deleting the
packages won't really work as I'd hoped because history doesn't get deleted
for a number of reasons.  For what I'm doing, it's better to abandon the PPA
and start over with a fresh one.

(Of course, I should just stop being lazy and write a script to do no-change
version bumps of all the packages I want to re-upload.)
