Comment:

 Hrm.  It seems that other parts of the Ubuntu One domain (such as the
 homepage) actually redirect over to one.ubuntu.com.  So there are a few
 strategies we could try here:

 1. try to match the URLs that refer to files actually hosted on Ubuntu
 One.  There are a few different forms, some of which can be observed with
 [https://www.google.com/search?q=inurl:ubuntuone.com the right Google
 search].  There's some risk we would take URLs that are ''supposed'' to be
 on one.ubuntu.com and send them over to ubuntuone.com

 2. Try to rewrite ''everything'' from http://one.ubuntu.com to
 https://ubuntuone.com, because it seems to redirect back to
 https://one.ubuntu.com when required.  I don't like this approach as much.

 3. Declare defeat/chaos, disable the ruleset, and ask Ubuntu for help.
