It is created in /srv/udd.debian.org/udd but only if the following
conditions are valid on your machine:

    # if there is a working LaTeX installation try to build a BibTeX database and test it by creating a debian.pdf file
    if isfile('/usr/bin/pdflatex') and access('/usr/bin/pdflatex', X_OK) and \
       isfile('/usr/bin/bibtex')   and access('/usr/bin/bibtex', X_OK) and \
       ( isfile('/usr/share/texlive/texmf-dist/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm.mf') or \
         isfile('/usr/share/texmf-texlive/fonts/source/jknappen/ec/ecrm.mf') ) :

I did this to prevent udd.debian.org from trying to create these files
since it is not really relevant there (since there is no http server
delivering the file, but blends.debian.net has).  So most probably one
of the packages containing the executables or ecrm.mf are missing on
your machine.  If you install these you should get the said files.

And no, you do not sound silly since this is not documented at all and
thus the problem is rather on my side.  But there is no sensible place
where to put this kind of documentation since is no UDD documentation.

This would be really valuable!

Hope at least my timely response are helping you over missing docs
