Reproduction steps:

1. Set up remote staging
2. Deploy a portlet only to the staging bundle and add it to a page (I used the calendar portlet)
3. Create a Web Content, publish to Live
4. Delete the Web Content (empty the recycle bin)
5. Publish to Live again

Resut:
The publish fails with a NullPointerException, see the logs for the Live bundle.

Expected:
Publish is successful.

master is not affected

From the LPP:

we should change the condition here on 6.2 to something like this from master. The code to fix on master is most probably here.
