The primary archive currently uses a terrible hack in our sbuild to copy the ddebs to ~/public_html on the buildds. A non-LP script is then run to grab those from all the non-virt builders, and put them on ddebs.ubuntu.com. This doesn't work for PPAs for a few reasons:

 - Ew, gross.
 - PPA builders are reset for every build, so ~/public_html doesn't survive long enough to have its contents grabbed.
 - PPA builders build for lots of different archives, so it's hard to work out where the ddebs should go.
 - Expanding the hackish ddebs.ubuntu.com scripts to work for thousands of archives sounds like a terrifying ordeal.
