britney2-ubuntu moved from bzr to git

That's done now, thanks Robert for updating the train.

Done, at last *phew*. All tests pass again, and I also ran it with the
production yakkety data locally. Versioned provides now work (e. g.
for python-oslo.privsep  or python-cryptography), and
HeidiResultsDelta/output diff looked reasonable.

FTR, argh about being stuck with precise and python 3.2, this is
getting annoying (see the local python modules and the ugly workaround
commits).

Mail sent.

Done. I'll watch it like a hawk for the next few iterations (also for
stables).

Please let me know if there's any trouble!

Thanks,

Martin
