Yes. 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.

We could still use the buildbot to test the PPA-built binaries (at least

I will most certainly start to put together a script that can download
new buildbot binaries, and make a package, install it, run all sage
tests again (64bit anyway), only prompting me to sign the packages
before uploading (if the tests passed).
