The problem is that our target audience are divers, not hackers.
Someone who can build from those sources can just build from git
But many people (even people running Linux) aren't comfortable building their own binaries. And for those I try to make their lives easier.

To me that means I need the Ubuntu packages - and those apparently can neatly be built with Launchpad (a couple of us are working on that right now).

Debian? No non-hacker is running Debian, I guess :-)

So in reality it really is Ubuntu that I try to cover here.
