i don't want to flame or anything, but what's the purpose of this? is there any program that would make use of such an archive? except that if you put it out to http then broken out files are browsable, while if you tar it up (like the rpm guys do with srpm) then the user has to download the whole source package, even if he/she is only interested in the buildscript or patches.
I agree, I also think that keeping the buildscript/patches (archlinux specific) and the real source files (upstream) separate is nicer and more flexible.
