Ola,
For source packages perhaps something along the lines of the Ubuntu
PPA is necessary. Something like this [1] has already been started for
Debian

"One idea is to adopt the svnbuildstat [2] package to work as a light
server, that will accept source packages, and then there will be a set
of buildbots, that will get a source package from the server, build it
on a given architecture and upload back a binary package. In a similar
way, lintian/linda/piuparts checks will be automatically handled. The
result of this should be robust debian packages, that a user can
easily use to create his own PPA. And someone with a server and a will
can just install them and provide Debian PPA to others."
