We ran into a problem today when Mirv noticed:

 http://10.97.0.1:8080/job/autopilot-trusty-daily_release/216/

was failing. It boils down to having xpathselect_1.4 installed and
autopilot_1.3. Autopilot was originally set up to be 1.4 in trusty but
we've changed and are using 1.3, but the dependency on xpathselect 
wasn't noticed at the time. Francis and Thomi chatted about this
and have two ideas to fix the current situation.

1) revert
back out:
 http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~unity-team/unity/trunk/revision/3581

and use the 1.3 version of xpathselect in the daily-build PPA.

2) forge ahead
land autopilot 1.4 in trusty and start fixing all the broken tests.

I can see rationale for choosing option 1. However, its worth noting 
that option 2 will get done regardless, so just doing that now might 
cause less pain.
