[Bug 1294005] [NEW] Please remove jenkins from trusty

[James Page]

Public bug reported:

The jenkins we have in trusty is the previous LTS release of jenkins; it
contains numerous security vulnerabilities and the maintainer of the
Jenkins packages in Ubuntu and Debian (myself) no longer has the
capacity to maintain Jenkins plus associated dependencies.

Also having had Jenkins in Ubuntu for the last two years, I also
question its supportability in distro; upstream advances quickly and
backporting critical security fixes is very hard due to refactoring in
the codebase in-between LTS releases of Jenkins (every 3 months or so).

My recommendation is that users switch to using the upstream packages.
