+ CelsoProvidelo: As agreed with ColinWatson on IRC, we don't need the fulfill upload queue information to move publications from one pocket to another w/o rebuild (the first use case). It can happen in a similar way we do overrides (changes-overrides.py) we could simply create a new publishing record to the targeted pocket, so there will be traces of this operation only in publishing-land.

+ CelsoProvidelo: We can land this script with partial functionality, for instance only copying stuff from one pocket to another. This way we could quickly sort quickly only the uncovered functionality (BACKPORTS -> UPDATES w/o rebuild and SECURITY -> UPDATES propagation).
