Bug Description

I uploaded a source to multiverse, and wondered why a binary package did not appear in the expected directory.

The reason is that packages uploaded to multiverse may produce package, which appear in 'main'. This is confusing, at least.

I think the same rules as in the main archive should apply, read: sources in 'multiverse' can only have binary packages in 'multiverse'. Packages in 'main' may have packages in 'universe', and so on.

If this is not possible or feasible, this should be at least documented as such.

We can think about something feasible in after this release. As per discussion with archive-admins, we are inclined to force all PPA package to belong to universe component only.

This is sort of the inverse of #137769 (about the ogre model). We will fix both of them by forcing everything to main in PPAs. But if we allow non-main PPA uploads for commercial users later, then we should at least make sure we get this bit right :-)

Celso's patch for bug 139420 moves publication to main and ensures that the packages stay there. Julian's partner-chroots2 branch fixes the ogre model rules for PPAs. The question is whether we need to do anything else to actually fix the bug presented here.

now that all the old binaries have been moved to main, i'd say this bug can be closed. This only dealt with the ogre model.
