There's actually no reason not to use https, even though at this point
this wouldn't offer a whole lot since the full interaction happens
within Amazon's network. What we should really do in the medium term,
though, is to sign all those files in the public bucket.

It's not clear what the suggestion actually is. We don't need mongodb
on the client side of juju, and the server side doesn't download juju
or MongoDB from a PPA.

Please also note that when doing any changes to that scheme, we must
have in mind the full spectrum of use cases we're working on
(non-Ubuntu, for example).
