'packagekit' should now be ok, I requeued it a few minutes ago and the
import succeeded unleashing:

If you have other specific targets, let me know. There are 359 failures
currently and I will requeue them progressively.

This has just been done and I'm currently looking at
fallouts/enhancements this triggered.

This is still being working on, upgrading on precise being the first
significant step.
