Personally, I'd much prefer to publish through this system.  Not only 
would it provide more assurance for my users that my source actually is 
my source, it would free me from having to play with pbuilder and 
chroots to build click packages.  I doubt that I'm typical in this 
regard, but one datum is better than none, right?
