Bug Description

Source package names have no security attached such that publishing them into a private PPA exposes that name to be targeted via other bugs. A method to check publications in the package picker is needed to ensure it can't pick packages that are only published in private PPAs.

Test case:
1) Create private PPA
2) Publish new source package with unique name : 'privatepackage'
3) File a bug with a completely unrelated public project
4) Pick a package and search for 'privatepackage'
Here we expect 'privatepackage' will not be visible. but currently it is.

My changes aren't quite working yet: the picker doesn't pick up the current value of the distribution drop-down, and Distribution:+filebug (at least) isn't using the new vocabulary yet. However, it's all behind a disabled feature flag, so this doesn't need to block deployments.
