I don't understand how you'd posit this as an upset bug if upset is
working correctly for the release directory.  That implies a difference
between the two directories, not an upset bug.

And, in fact, there was no lzma-4.32.7-3*tar.bz2 files in the lzma
directory.  Apparently they were deleted on March 16.  I ressurrected
them.

Since release-2 isn't supposed to have obsolete stuff in it can't we
just remove this directory entirely?
