[Bug 1453330] Re: rewrite pull-[lp|debian]-source

[Dan Streetman]

** Description changed:

+ I've essentially re-written the pull-[lp|debian|uca]-source scripts,
+ consolidating them all to use a common codebase and extending the
+ functionality to allow pulling not only source but also debs, udebs, and
+ ddebs.
+ 
+ The updates also allow specifying binary package names, which the
+ original pull-*-source didn't work with.
+ 
+ The pull-lp-[debs|udebs|ddebs] also allows downloading otherwise "gone"
+ debs from Launchpad - for older packages where LP no longer lists the
+ binaries as existing anymore.  They are actually still there, but
+ getting their specific URL is tricky, and not possible from the normal
+ LP web interface.  The new pull-lp-* scripts can handle it and will
+ allow downloading any deb/udeb/ddeb for any older package.
+ 
+ This also fixes bug 1700846, where pull-debian-source fails for older
+ packages where the public key that the DSC was signed with no longer is
+ in the keyring.
+ 
+ 
+ Original description:

  Errors like the following are happening because Debian's DDE [1] is dead
  [2]:
  
  logan at logan-VMware:~$ pull-debian-source d-rats
  pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to retrieve package information from DDE: http://dde.debian.net/dde/q/udd/dist/d:debian/r:sid/p:d-rats/?t=json (<urlopen error [Errno -2] Name or service not known>)
  pull-debian-source: Error: Unable to find d-rats in Debian suite "sid".
  
  Maybe someone would be willing to host/maintain a new instance of DDE?
  Or is there another way to programmatically grab the Debian/Ubuntu
  source package name from the binary package name?
