Uploading to non-unstable catalogs

Sometimes users ask about some packages being or not being there in testing
(now: bratislava), or stable (now: kiel). I used to do this periodically,
but I don't do that any more, and I don't plan on doing that again.

Q: Can maintainers upload to bratislava and/or kiel?
A: Yes.

Q: How?
A: You pass the --catalog-release flag to csw-upload-pkg. The upload
procedure works as usual: checkpkg checks are run, and your packages are
inserted into the chosen catalog.

So if you want something in testing, don't wait. Upload it to testing
yourself.

Note: --catalog-release=testing will not work. You must give the script the
release name. Right now it is:

csw-upload-pkg --catalog-release bratislava <pkg1> <pkg2> ...
