As an aside, because IIUC the build environment is created from scratch for 
each build, the new system is more vulnerable to broken build dependencies 
in unstable.

In the past we would just not update the build environment in that 
situation, but now it will cause the whole build to fail early and the 
build will effectively be skipped.

I expect that because of this we will more frequently have missing builds, 
though hopefully only for short periods. But that makes it extra important 
not to invalidate the last successful build when making the "meta" logs 
available.
