iOS supports archiving perfectly fine. No need for any tricks. Lion kinda does. You can archive but doing that will actually create an “Archive” folder and moves the mail there. That’s not the expected behavior when using Gmail. (The expected behavior would be to move the mail to the “All Messages” folder, or, in Gmail lingo, to remove all labels from the message. iOS does that, Lion doesn’t.)

Archiving is handled through IMAP delete by default. Check your GMail settings and go to the "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab. Most likely your setting for "When I mark a message in IMAP as deleted" is "Archive the message (default)."

  But I want to be able to delete mails (anywhere). I don’t want to repurpose the delete button, no way.

    Move the mail to the trash folder. Sorry, not a 1-button solution, but it works.
