So, Bruce-

Does Economy Class in the basement of the A-380 qualify as "Steerage" or "Ballast?"

Yes.

Like Bruce, most of my flying was a few meters (or more) behind the driver. A couple of flights were in front of the driver which is an available feature on B747. (and using a pile of frequent flyer miles)
Only managed 105,000 miles last year though. The previous decade's average was higher.
