Hi... making a PPA is a better way to do this.
There are a lot of ways to do this in a better fashion. I already have
a bzr branch for Utopic with 1.0.3 If you want I could set it to build
for Trusty and Precise.
A PPA will work for 32bit and 64bit, however if you want to build for
PPC or ARM, you will need to build it on one of those devices. If you
have all the needed Ubuntu build tools you can grab the source of the
PPA and build the deb from that, and build in pbuilder for the specific
release you are on, etc..
A PPA is also better, as the control file automatically pulls in all the
current depends.
If you want I can give you a pbuilder/bzr cheat sheet I have made.
