@John: As mentioned in the bug, this script is mostly to seed the p-i, as soon as a package enters the p-i, all its uploads are caught up. From James explanation, I understand that this is how the p-i has been seeded in the past so if the approach is wrong this needs to be addressed but this mp was about unblocking the situation with the *current* approach.
@Robert: I didn't but this is not urgent anymore and the request against lp may not be ideal anyway. I'll track it better the next time I'll work in this area.
