Sorry about this.

Due to the ABI bump, the linux upload introduced new binary package
names which require manual approval.  However the linux-latest upload
(which builds the metapackages) was handled entirely automatically.

This doesn't happen for non-LTS security suites because the security
team has to approve each update and can ensure that multiple related
updates are done at the same time.
