I realize we are obsoleting ubuntu-sdk-13.10 soon for a number of reasons and we
won't obsolete a framework this quickly in the future. (that's fine)

However, as I was updating one of my apps just now I realized two problems:

1. we are going to force everyone to rebuild with ubuntu-sdk-14.04-dev1 (I
thought we were going to use ubuntu-sdk-14.04-qml-dev1,
ubuntu-sdk-14.04-html-dev1 and ubuntu-sdk-14.04-papi-dev1 anyway...) and then
again with ubuntu-sdk-14.04-qml|html|papi in a few weeks. This seems less than
ideal.

2. we are asking people to upload apps to the store with a framework (or qt5.2
for that matter) that doesn't yet exist on a promoted image. In theory, they can
test the packaging changes by using --force-missing-framework with click
install, but does pkcon install-local support that? (Aside: what will libclick
do for base framework and base version if the framework is missing?)
