Bug Description

The first time a ticket goes through the system, the ci-master ppa will have no packages in it. So when the imagebuilder is told to add ci-master and the ci-pool ppa, there will be a 404 error when it runs apt-get update because ci-master is so far uninitialized. We should find a way to either pre-init the ppa, or check it before handing it in a list to image-builder or check it in the image builder before trying to use it. My preference would be for #1 so that we have a clean slate to work from, but we definitely shouldn't just ignore the error from apt-get update since this could hide other problems and make them harder to debug.

An easy workaround for this is simply to publish some dummy package to the ppa before getting started. As long as this package is never added in a ticket, then it should not affect anything. Setting importance to medium since it's annoying enough that it needs to be fixed, but has an easy workaround for the time being and the impact is minimal.
