This was caused by a combination of a dpkg change that needed to be
backported to hardy (which the merges.ubuntu.com host currently runs)
and eventually the host running out of disk space (which tends to happen
after it's been failing for a while, because the amount of temporary
space it uses is proportional to the size of the update it needs to
perform).  And then, slightly embarrassingly, I forgot to turn the cron
jobs back on after making sure it was working properly.

It's all fixed now.

Please don't infer such things from temporary failures.  There are no
plans to remove or disable merges.ubuntu.com.
