Quick update on silo 26: I'm rebuilding location-service to account
for a recent landing.
The one blocking issue is mediascanner2, which requires a rebuild,
too. It is however enabled for dual-landing
to both vivid and xenial, and we cannot easily do a vivid+o landing
with it right now. I'm working on the resolving that issue,
but it will likely take a day or two to complete.
