AIUI the one for the archive is done externally to LP - it lives in an
entirely different archive with a predictable url (ddebs.ubuntu.com or
something). Its constructed using output from regular builds, but run
separately. To migrate that to one generated by archive builds means
migrating stuff around. (Sorry for the vagueness ;))
