That tarball just needs deleting.

Short version: yes.

Long version: Right now, filesystems:ceph:luminous/deepsea is a link to
filesystems:ceph/deepsea.  Both should thus be the latest and greatest,
which means really filesystems:ceph:luminous/deepsea needs to be
submitted to filesystems:ceph/deepsea to make that true.

In future, we may end up with something like the following:

- filesystems:ceph:jewel/deepsea (for deepsea version 0.6.x)
- filesystems:ceph:luminous/deepsea (for deepsea version 0.7.x)
- filesystems:ceph:m[whatever]/deepsea (etc.)

...with the latest version always being a link to
filesystems:ceph/deepsea.  This makes sense if we're maintaining
multiple codestreams of deepsea.  If it turns out that we don't actually
need to do that, and can just maintain a single codestream, we can drop
the structure and only use filesystems:ceph/deepsea.
