So I did this (thank you) and when I try to push I'm now seeing:

Rejected:
File qpid-proton_0.7-1.2.debian.tar.gz already exists in Qpid Proton
Debian Packages, but uploaded version has different contents. See more
information about this error in
https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/UploadErrors.
Files specified in DSC are broken or missing, skipping package unpack
verification.

It seems that uploads to this new PPA (qpid/released) are being rejected
due to the contents of the old one (qpid/proton) that we plan to delete.
Which is odd since the qpid-dispatch package existed in that other PPA
but I was able to upload it as well.

I've now deleted the older ones and will try to upload again later,
unless there is a more practical approach. I tried downloading the
.orig.tar.gz for Proton and rebuilding using that (per the link in the
rejection email) but that didn't work and produced the same error again.
