	How about using rsync? The bulk-build system only rebuilds
	packages if they have changed, or if something on which they
	depend has changed. If bandwidth is a limit maybe you could
	pick one of the slower architectures to reduce the frequency
	of uploads? :)

	If the bulk-build system has rebuilt a package then it should
	be uploaded along with the rest. Anything else will lead to
	broken package sets sooner or later.
