Ok, I've changed pacman mirror (echo PACMAN_MIRROR=mirrors.kernel.org >>
builder.conf) and it worked at third try. This means:

qubes-template-archlinux package is available qubes-templates-community 
repository!

I haven't tested it in any way. It include only what builder-archlinux
scripts does - especially powerpill (or some other mean to use updates
proxy) still needs to be configured manually:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/archlinux/#package-manager-proxy-setup-section

Further work include:
 - test it out
 - automate powerpill setup (probably as part of core-agent-linux
   repository - some post-installation script or such)
 - adjust https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/templates/archlinux/
 - write some separate announcement(?)
