[Bug 2043679] [NEW] dput is flaking with 550 internal server error

[Nathan Teodosio]

Public bug reported:

It has been difficult to upload packages to Launchpad in the last few
days.

Several times a "uploading *" will hang right at the start of the
transfer, still with no byte transferred, and then bail out with error
550:

--->
% dput ppa:nteodosio/ubuntu-pro ../update-manager_18.47_source.changes
D: Splitting host argument out of  ppa:nteodosio/ubuntu-pro.

Please consult dput.cf(5) for details on this configuration option.

Though I also got simply the last kB dropped and then silent exit with
error 1:
