Bug Description
Last year, some work was done on simplifying the process of creating new distroseries. I believe this was mainly for derived distributions, but it also had the effect of making Ubuntu's new-release-cycle process simpler. One of the changes to our process was the removal of the requirement to do careful-apt publisher runs after initialising the new distroseries in order to create initial Packages and Sources files:

However, when I initialised quantal, I found that the publisher did not automatically create indexes under dists/ for it, and I had to run publish-distro.py -A manually, just like in the old days.
Looking through #launchpad-ops logs for 2011-10-13, it turns out that this didn't work when we initialised precise either. Maybe we can make this work properly for R!

In case it helps, here's the log output from the publisher run that I believe should have created quantal indices but didn't.
