Bug Description

Unless there's some other reason for building and providing this via the stable PPA, checkbox and checkbox-certification should NOT be built for 14.04 and beyond.

I just spent time today reviewing test results from an OEM engineer who accidentally confused the two and installed checkbox-certification-server onto a 14.04.1 installation and ran the full certification testing.

There were missing tests and lots of weird failures from bugs long since fixed.

As we are no longer mantaining checkbox-legacy, it really should only be built for 12.04 and older, as those are the only valid OSs for Checkbox Legacy.

As you can see, both are available for 14.04 in the public PPA:

root@droplet-20141216105938:~# sudo apt-cache policy checkbox-certification-server
checkbox-certification-server:
  Installed: (none)
  Candidate: 0.19~ubuntu14.04.1
  Version table:

root@droplet-20141216105938:~# sudo apt-cache policy canonical-certification-server
canonical-certification-server:
  Installed: 0.12~ppa~ubuntu14.04.1

Solution, remove checkbox from the build recipes for 14.04. (we should only be building plainbox for 14.04, right?)

I removed checkbox and checkbox-certification from the stable ppa and deleted their respective recipes.

I'll resurrect the recipes only if we need to backport a critical bug fix.
