The end goal is not just to have packages built on the buildd -- and important goal for Debian, certainly, but not the only one we have. As promoters of free software, we also are committed to have packages build for our users, in a "real" environment, not just a sterile, controlled. artificial "debian specific test" environment. Moving towards requiring all packages be built in such an artificial test environment takes us further away from ensuring the second goal is met. manoj -- I know you think you thought you knew what you thought I said, but I'm not sure you understood what you thought I meant.
