Launchpad "builds", yes. Usually source. In our case a debian package
wrapped around a binary. So "building" is midleading.

Also launchpad is a buildfarm, but is not supposed to be used as a buildbot,
as your packages are supposed to be built and tested using debian
development
tools. If you use pbuilder, you should theoretically be able to build just
as
launchpad will do it.

End users download binaries. End users may not know what "binaries"
or "source" are. They click on the "app". This is what we provide so we
don't have to explain to people what "tar" is. Never mind "permissions".

Regards,
Jan
