I've set up a test ppa to check whether packages fail or build:
https://launchpad.net/~medigeek/+archive/libarchive-experimental/+packages

At the moment, 3 packages failed. I should've waited for cmake-data
(i386) to be built first, but I uploaded all of the packages. 2 failed
for this reason and I'll try the build tomorrow.

However 1 failed with this error: 
/build/buildd/gmameui-0.2.12/src/gmameui-zip-utils.c:94: undefined reference to 
`archive_read_data_into_buffer' - that was expected, provided that the gmameui 
has not seen a new version since 2009: http://gmameui.sourceforge.net/
There's an easy fix for this one: 
(https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gm/gmameui/PKGBUILD)
"
    # archive_read_data_into_buffer() is deprecated in libarchive
    /bin/sed -i 's/archive_read_data_into_buffer/archive_read_data/' 
src/gmameui-zip-utils.c
"

There is some documentation to patch the packages to use the new format:
https://github.com/libarchive/libarchive/wiki/Libarchive3 - I sure hope
that none of the other packages fail.
