Can solve this and allow for private hosting by making ensemble-origin
flexible as either a branch (lp:xxx), a ppa:xxx, or an apt sources line:
ensemble-origin: "deb http://
ensemble-version: 0.5+306-0ubuntu1
ensemble-origin: lp:ensemble
ensemble-version: 306
ensemble-origin: ppa:ensemble/ppa
Unspecified version should always mean the "latest available".
On a "higher order" note, I wonder if, for repeatability, we shouldn't
process all of this on the client side, and just build a deb or tarball
that is pushed into file storage.
