These packages are normally uploaded by the bulk build mechanism that creates them all. The bulk build puts all the binary packages in /All, and then creates symlinks in all the other directories. The symlinks aren't uploaded, which hasn't been a problem in general because everything (pkg_add, pkg_radd, etc.) looks in the /All dir by default. I've been a bit nervous about having all those links uploaded; I don't know if mirrors will download them as links or treat them as files and download the actual data all over again.
