autopkgtest can get both binary and source packages as arguments, as follows: If it gets binaries, it injects those to be installed; if not, the packages to be tested will be downloaded from the archive. The tests to be executed come from the source package, regardless of where the binaries come from. It will build the package by default, unless you pass --no-built-binaries (which ci.debian.net does, because there we want to test the binaries that are in the archive).
