For all archive types where we support deletion, yes.  This is the only way 
that people can re-use the same name for PPAs after they delete them, unless 
they resurrect the same PPA again and are aware of its upload history.

But generally, all this stuff is cruft in the database and we need to start 
clearing it up.

Cheers.
