is there any reason to build the package (instead of uploading it to a
PPA) ? 
all my above comments in this thread were solely referring to create a
source package once you are done with programming and have a ready to
run app (that you tested in qmlscene or by using a device (or even by
using a yet to come emulator) in an unpackaged manner ...

there should be no need at all to build a binary package locally ... our
sdk should just make sure a source package is created and probably have
a "publish to PPA" button where the binary package then gets built ... 

*if* someone wants to do a local build i would consider that an advanced
task for which you can indeed use a pbuilder or some such ... generally
creating a *source* package should be completely arch agnostic though
and easy to automate from the sdk ...
