No tarballs for 1.14.0 and 1.14.1

[Curtis Hovey-Canonical]

I brought the juju-core/+downloads of issue a few times while
preparing for my new role.  Lp is broken; too many engineers "fixing"
an ill-defined feature. The debwatch file *will* fail when Lp pushes
stable releases to the next page.

Lp thinks people only care about releases from the focus of
development (trunk). Stable and obsolete series are subsequently
listed. Juju-core (and all projects that have stable series) are
right, Lp is wrong.

I am not keen to do a proper *fix* Lp. Aaron Bentley and I discussed
the issue last week. We think Lp could help packagers and projects
with stable series by offering listings sorted by version or release
data. Watches could always find new releases at the top of a page.
