This plan hit a snag today unfortunately. The media-hub silo contained
an updated gst-plugins-bad1.0 which became caught in utopic-proposed
while the rest of the silo migrated to the archive. I pinged infinity
to take a look at this, and it looks like this package is caught in
the crossfire between two major transitions that are slowly taking
place. It looks like progress has been made, but 12 hours later it's
still not in the archive, so I made the decision to kick an image
build without it.

This means that image #6 will have most of media-hub, but lacking gst
plugins. The image isn't finished building yet, so I don't fully know
the extent of the problems, but jhodapp predicted that it will be able
to play music, but not videos. Hopefully gst-plugins-bad1.0 will land
"soon" and image #7 will contain the fully working media-hub when it
gets built later on.

I hit the publish button on the mir silo after image #6 started
building, and those components are all in the utopic-proposed pocket
at the moment, so hopefully those should migrate shortly and you'll
see them in image #7 when it is eventually built (tomorrow).

I'm hijacking this thread because it's still April 30th for me,
tomorrow I'll start a new one ;-)

So Image #6 that is currently building in addition to the
slightly-incomplete media-hub also contains an updated ubuntu-keyboard
that now has support for haptic feedback, and an updated
address-book-service with improved test coverage, both from bfiller.
It also contains a small bugfix for the newly-renamed libudm, which
first landed in image #5.

I also landed thomi's new autopilot-legacy, which is a fork of
autopilot containing python2 code that will soon be dropped from
autopilot, however I don't think this is actually used anywhere or
seeded just yet so this shouldn't impact image #6.
