Can you define distribute the workload?

As far as I know all Linux distros have a build machine in the
official repo (the one that gets mirrored) and nobody complains. I
wouldn't trust a deb package built by someone I don't know and that I
can't check the sources. The exception to this is gentoo, which makes
the users be their own build systems in most of the cases.
