Hey Robert!

Less clicks is always good! But I don't really like how bileto handles
cases of manual-source-only tickets right now. If you don't have any
MPs but only want to assign a silo to get a PPA for manual upload,
pressing build just does the thing but the silo is then in an ugly
error state. Could you maybe fix it so that pressing build without any
MPs when the silo is unassigned is a normal operation? We have a lot
of silos like that.

I always liked the idea of assigning silos explicitly first. Removing
the assign step completely makes super sense when ephemeral PPAs are
available, meaning - each ticket is automatically assigned a PPA.
Right now, at least for the manual source part, it's a bit unintuitive
- I have a ticket, I know I can't build anything as I don't have a
silo: duh, how am I supposed to get a PPA? Pressing 'Build'? Uh, build
like... what? Yeah. It all works, but feels artificial ;)

Cheers,
