The sub-directories should be about previous release upgrades, so those
won't be necessary. You could confirm you are uploading the right log
files by looking at the 'main.log' file and checking the date in it in
addition to looking for the right releases in lines with PreCacheOpen
and PostInitialUpdate.
The file 'apt-clone_system_state.tar.gz' may not necessary so you can
skip that in your initial upload.
