Let's face it, it is very rare that translation teams will actually need
daily debs. For the vast majority, uploads on a weekly basis will be
more than sufficient, and are in fact more convenient given that they
come in with upgrades.

The problem is, as soon as you offer to build daily debs, everyone
starts saying "yeah!", so if you actually do have some disk or IO
constraints, best to make sure that you're only building them for the
translation teams that actually *need* daily debs, for example a team
doing some kind of sprint.
