Bug Description
A long time ago, someone accidentally uploaded (and subsequently deleted) a 3.8.0 linux and linux-meta to precise in the kteam PPA. Ever since then, uploads of 3.2 kernels to precise in the PPA lead to failed attempts to diff against that long-forgotten version:
diff from 3.8.0-25.36 to 3.2.0-80.116 (pending)
diff from 3.8.0.25.41 to 3.2.0.80.94 (pending)
The fact that it's trying to generate a diff it can't would be an annoying enough buglet, but the real problem is that it doesn't even attempt to do a diff against the previous 3.2 versions.
Once the packages are copied to the archive, a new diff is triggered, and pops up, but that's somewhat after when I tend to review them, so I'm stuck downloading the source and diffing by hand before I do the copies.
