fwiw that's semi-intentional, because the point is that there is no
difference from an uploader's perspective.
"Uploads to stable-updates" don't exist as a thing; rather, some
uploads to p-u are cherrypicked by SRM and copied to -updates. So
uploaders shouldn't be trying to do anything different from a technical
perspective, just remembering to request the -updates copy while
discussing the request via the BTS.
