I think it can work for modules that need to be compiled as well, at least for those that we control, because we can upload binary versions to cheeseshop. This also works nice for platforms that we don't provide binaries: they get the sources and it is their job to ensure their system is capable of building things. For example, m2crypto builds fine from sources if you have libssl-dev, python-dev, swig and the basic build tools on your system. Any package that requires compiling and that we can't upload a binary egg for, we can keep in external. -- Heikki Toivonen
