To close the loop on this for the mail archives.

I had a some old .ucl files under /release/packages/ that were not being 
processed correctly by /release/packages/generate-ucl.sh. removing these 
files allowed me to successfully build package.  I suspect I previously 
built with packagebase in this tree before generate-ucl.sh was 
refactored which led to this issue.
