a) I've looked at various directories at random, and I don't think there ever have been gecko files in those directories.

b) These builds are slated to be turned off in bug 924503.

What's the motivation behind this request?

a)
we found other download folders contain the gecko file, and ENG can downland it and push it into the phone.
for example: 
  /pvt/mozilla.org/b2gotoro/nightly/mozilla-aurora-hamachi-eng/latest/
  /pvt/mozilla.org/b2gotoro/nightly/mozilla-aurora-leo-eng/latest/
  /pvt/mozilla.org/b2gotoro/nightly/mozilla-central-hamachi-eng/latest/
  /pvt/mozilla.org/b2gotoro/nightly/mozilla-central-leo-eng/latest/
  /pvt/mozilla.org/b2gotoro/nightly/mozilla-central-helix/latest/

b)
we just think that if pvt can provide full image (DEVICE_NAME.zip), gaia (gaia.zip) and gecko (b2g-XXXX.en-US.android-arm.tar.gz) at the same time, it will be more convenient for ENG.
For example, if ENG replace the gaia or gecko and then mess up the phone. They can only flash gaia or gecko, not full image.

BTW, base on the table of https://wiki.mozilla.org/User:Asasaki:B2GBuilds ,
QA still care about v1.0.1 hamachi build, but there is no gecko file under their folder, too.
  pvt/mozilla.org/b2gotoro/nightly/mozilla-b2g18_v1_0_1-hamachi/latest/
  pvt/mozilla.org/b2gotoro/nightly/mozilla-b2g18_v1_0_1-hamachi-eng/latest/

Ok, tracked this down.

Per QA, Unagi builds don't have the kernel issue that requires flashing the gecko/gaia separately, and flashing the unagi.zip is fine.  (plus we're EOLing these).

Also per QA, the other -eng builds probably need these, so thanks for pointing those out.  We'll need to add those.

I can land the unagi gecko fix on b2g26_v1_2 if we care...
Also open to WONTFIXing the rest since we're going to turn off unagi builds soon, and we've stopped doing 1.0.1 builds.
