Provided that you can test the package. Packaging is not only about preparing the package, but also maintaining it. You can be a maintainer without using the distro, but if you do not use it and don't follow its developpements, it quickly turns into a poorest situation, where your package is broken and leads to a bad reputation for the software that it provides. Ususally, packaging follows naturally the need for a given software, and I feel natural that it is not done by its author if he does not use the distro himself.
