The archive is authoritative, that was the deal discussed and agreed 
when daily release were introduced and discussed at the last physical 
UDS we had. That way, packagers can continue uploading directly to the 
distribution, what we didn't want to prevent.

A check is then done to ensure that what you are trying to build 
contains latest archive content *as the first step* (and so, not after 
an hours or more into the landing process). The build fails immediately 
and tells you need to check for this.
