This is valid for the daily release autolanding, in phablet there are
a couple of differences to land in the PPA.

Changelog entry atm is manual. If your series is UNRELEASED it won't dput
into the PPA and only merge (we used to have a staging PPA which was always
pushed to regardless). We also had a multiple series requirement that
happened automagically.

Once we move to pushing to distro archives and out of the PPA we will be
on our way to be more aligned with the former. That is, once _s_ is open.
