Unfortunately not. The LP API only allows for querying for all build
results since a given date. You can figure out the latest import from
the Administrate screen of the template. The last item on that page is
the Last-modification time. We just need to check for the latest upload.
I would say, setting the date to let's say 3 or 4 weeks ago should
suffice to catch most of our cases. Just need to run the script once,
put the output into a file and then grep that file for the package name.

XPI files for firefox/xulrunner? I deleted those from the top of the
queue you mentioned. They are not needed anymore. There shouldn't be any
other ones as I do the imports manually and usually resolve all
conflicts at that time.
