The problem is the dataflow.

The ci-train assumes an "upstream" repo (here, it's lp:mir/ubuntu)
into which it merges the target branches.  It builds source debs,
which then get uploaded to the -proposed pocket of the archive, which
then migrates into the main (or -release) pocket of the archive and
gets imported into the lp:ubuntu/mir repo.  If you point the ci-train
to merge target bracnhes directly into the Ubuntu archive, there's
going to be trouble.
