As members of the free software community, we should also cater to end users building, tweaking, and rebuilding our software.The only builds Debian supports are the ones that are distributed from the archive. Debian doesn't "support" any other builds. Some other builds will work and be compatible with Debian. Others won't, and if they don't, it's left to the discretion of the individual maintainer whether to help.
We support more than just building for the archive: E.g. we want to support user to rebuild packages with no optimization and debug symbols, to help us to find out bugs.
