Upload of autobuild packages from inofficial buildds is forbidden and
binary uploads of packages highly deprecated (autobuildability must be
there or security support becomes a nightmare). Ever since the big
flame last year when there was an inofficial network helping with the
backlog for alpha, mips, mipsel, m68k and arm.

Two things are restricted:
wanna-build - if you run your own then packages will be doubly build
incoming.debian.org - Packages/Sources files are only available with
user/pass
That means that if you run your own w-b all of that arch has to
switch. And without incoming access you add another 24h delay to
builds. And you still have convince the same people giving buildd
access that your network is trustworthy and may upload debs.
