Well this depends :) If you are an Debian developer you upload an binary for one architecture and the source. If you're not an Debian developer your sponsor will rebuild you're package and then upload an binary for one architecture and the source.

You don't have problems when you have packages from multiply sources/distributions installed. - You don't have problems when your package build-depends on packages which conflict with you're currently installed packages. A pbuilder environment is quite easy to setup and easy to use. Greetings Arjan Oosting
