It needs to be "all" to be good enough to break the upload order.  C can
be very strange and fickle about build dependencies, and this can create
bugs that are very hard to track down.  Over 20 years of working with C
has taught me it is very worthwhile to be careful.

A bunch of 6.0.1r55 packages where uploaded, but the git repos were not
updated.  There are missing debian/6.0.1+r55-1 tags and final commits on
the changelog.

What still needs to be uploaded?  It looks like these from what I can see:

* android-platform-frameworks-native
* android-platform-build
* android-platform-libnativehelper
* android-platform-system-extras
* android-platform-development

The script looks quite good, I look forward to using that for the
Android N update.
