The ci channel conversation has led to a path that makes (at least myself) 
happy again. Since some of us are working on rtm features and bug fixes 
only, it really makes no sense to cherry pick anything

The idea is to land in utopic first and then copy the source+binaries to an 
rtm silo for retesting; and if the changes actually require a rebuild due 
to the nature of the divergent paths of the archives, push the source 
package with a backport look a like version tag (e.g.; 
$upstream-$packaging~rtm1).
