[backportpackage] -sa detection does not work with private PPAs

[Evan Broder]

backportpackage's attempt to detect whether -sa is needed or not is foiled by private PPAs, as hitting https://launchpad.net/~whomever/+archive/whatever/+files/my_file redirects to the login page. httplib2 follows redirects, and the login page returns a 200, so backportpackage concludes it doesn't need to pass -sa.

Not totally sure what the right fix here is. My recollection was that determining this from using the LP API was difficult, but I haven't looked at the options in a while.

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-dev-tools - 0.149

---------------
ubuntu-dev-tools (0.149) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Marc Deslauriers ]
  * mk-sbuild: allow specifying the schroot profile.
  * ubuntutools/config.py: properly handle name being None.

  [ Loïc Minier ]
  * ubuntutools.config: decode developer names with the current locale's
    encoding and add corresponding test; fixes handling of non-ascii names.

  [ Adam Gandelman ]
  * backportpackage: Fix destination for --dont-sign option. (LP: #1183985)

  [ Evan Broder ]
  * Only conclude that we don't need an orig tarball if we're sent to the
    librarian (as opposed to the login page from a private PPA).
    (LP: #1106429)
