There is one distinction: You are responsible for any bugs on
your package if your qemu setup is screwed up. However, a buildd
operator using qemu is not responsible for bugs filed on the packages
created on his set up -- He is not performing an NMU.
When I upload a package, either mine, or an NMU, I have to
stay engaged -- watch all new bugs, and perhaps re-NMU as needed. My
ass is in the sling.
Does the buildd operator take similar responsibility for all
the packages he uploads? If not, the cases are not similar.
