I agree with this. Having said that, I also think Neil's right in
saying that an auto-builder's a lot more work. I'd be tempted to say
that as an *initial* point (given that this is voluntary and not
cutting off normal extras uploads) this should primarily be focused on
the distribution of binary packages. If successful, it can be
revisited.

Alternatively, if anyone's got any experience with the Debian or
Ubuntu build systems, and wants to volunteer, we could modify the
proposal to accept source or binary packages from the outset, and then
phase binary packages out over time (if there's acceptance of the idea
at that point).

Cheers,

Andrew
