When a commit modifies the Version header in the main file, then the
state of that commit is used to trigger a new release, both for core and
otherwise.

These are rebuilt on every commit. The intended audience IMO are
developers here though, so that they can easily preview the state of
packages.

The name is fine. I am just guessing that it is not something that Eli
has to deal with that often.

There were issues related to some recent changes that re-build the
package tarballs, but the content should have been the same. But that
was a mistake, and not something that should happen on a regular basis.
