We would automatically support all systems that Launchpad supports (are
there more versions/architectures of Ubuntu on Launchpad than currently
on the Sage buildbot?)

A minor gain is that the package building would contain fewer steps (the
Sage buildbot would not be needed).

Ok, let's not panic ; this describes debian's building network, and explains why it's necessary :

Indeed, a *_CORRECT_* packaging of sage would make things easier : maintainers are valuable partners of upstreams -- filtering bugs (keeping the packaging problems for themselves, opening a single ticket/issue even though many users reported the same thing), providing patches, catching issues beforehand...
