I'd be ok with keeping them around on the "better than nothing"
principle.  (Really I'd like if we had something that just archived
every package ever published, but it's not built in to lp for
understandable disk space reasons, and I haven't got to scripting it
separately.)

As far as the ones that are now supported, we have

maverick - doesn't need an update because 2.2.0 is already included
(though it will need support soon)
 lucid, karmic - clearly should be supported
jaunty - ends support in October 2010; probably worth building if it's
just another automatic change but not worth special effort
hardy - still long-term supported; should be built
dapper - still long-term supported on the server only; uses a
different python packaging system; I'm not sure if giving it whole new
releases is worthwhile at this point.  I will check how many people
actually download from it.
