Bug Description
I want to copy a source package from a PPA to intrepid multiverse (the package already exists there):
nvidia-
$ copy-package.py -p lrm-intrepid -c multiverse nvidia-
2008-07-11 14:19:23 INFO creating lockfile
2008-07-11 14:19:27 INFO FROM: lrm-intrepid: intrepid-RELEASE
2008-07-11 14:19:27 INFO TO: Primary Archive for Ubuntu: intrepid-RELEASE
2008-07-11 14:19:27 ERROR nvidia-
It seems that -c specifies the component of the *source*, not the *target*. That doesn't seem to make sense to me, we already know the source component, but we want to specify the target one. If I leave out -c, it will be put into main, so that we have it in two components. I can change-override.py it, of course, but the initial builds will always fail to upload, since they still want to go to main.
Making this operation possible would ease this kind of sponsoring a lot. Thank you!

copy-package.py is now in ubuntu- archive- tools, as copy-package. Reassigning and retitling bug.
