The end goal is not just to have packages built on the
buildd -- and important goal for Debian, certainly, but not the only
one we have. As promoters of free software, we also are committed to
have packages build for our users, in a "real" environment, not just
a sterile, controlled. artificial "debian specific test"
environment.
Moving towards requiring all packages be built in such an
artificial test environment takes us further away from
ensuring the second goal is met.
