Public bug reported:
backportpackage's attempt to detect whether -sa is needed or not is
foiled by private PPAs, as hitting
https://launchpad.net/~whomever/+archive/whatever/+files/my_file
redirects to the login page. httplib2 follows redirects, and the login
page returns a 200, so backportpackage concludes it doesn't need to pass
-sa.
Not totally sure what the right fix here is. My recollection was that
determining this from using the LP API was difficult, but I haven't
looked at the options in a while.
