Bug Description

Since http://bazaar.launchpad.net/+branch/launchpad/revision/17093, Launchpad has supported a new form for the PPA upload path, ~<person>/<distro>/<ppa>. This helps with some prior ambiguities and so works better with non-Ubuntu PPAs, which we're going to need for the Ubuntu phone RTM project in a month or two. However, it clashes with the current contents of dput.cf, namely "~%(ppa)s/ubuntu"; if you try to upload to ppa:~person/ubuntu/ppa-name, then this expands to ~person/ubuntu/ppa-name/ubuntu and goes wrong.

We can reasonably safely drop the trailing "/ubuntu" here. Uploading to ppa:~person/ppa-name still works fine. The only casualty is that uploading to ppa:~person will fail rather than expanding to the PPA named "ppa" for that person; however, multiple PPAs have been a thing for many years now, so I think most people have got used to specifying the PPA name. If not, it's an easy adjustment to make.

Similarly, the preferred upload path for the Ubuntu primary distribution is now "/ubuntu" rather than "/".

As well as fixing this in utopic, I think we should SRU this back to trusty to support people doing phone development there. Given the audience it's probably not necessary to update earlier releases.

I've been using this dput change for ages; I just tried dput-ng and that looks fine too.
