Yeah, I guess I should have been a little more specific:

 Is there a public buildd server for Debian?
 Is there a public buildd server for Ubuntu?

I want to take my Debian package sources, chuck them into some
thingamajig, wait a little and then get an Sarge package and a Dapper
package out. I'm not DD nor am I a Ubuntu developer.

I'd rather not have to install two extra systems just to do the odd
package build of my own small pet projects.
