Normally. Except this particular package simply copies the buildbot built files. My reasoning is mostly to work within the Ubuntu package manager. but a future from-source monolithic Sage would build on the launchpad farm, yes. One is supposed to test building locally before uploading, and so not to simply use buildbot as a compile test.
