Comment 9 for bug 211223

Agreed, go with the Ubuntu celebrity for now, since there is no realistic plan for starting importing packages. I've just mentioned it for providing a big-picture scenario (now I realize it wasn't the brightest idea of the day).

I'm not entirely sure about your suggestion for adjusting the model for representing the existence of packages in a distribution. It seems to me that it's a transparent feature, either it has or hasn't packages, if they exist they will be presented in the UI.

On the other hand, we can represent the fact that a distribution accept or not uploads, if its packages get imported or not (and from where), and finally if we publish its packages or not. Does it make sense ?
