To clarify this somewhat: After all the preparatory work is done to get your package ready for inclusion, what will happen is that a copy of your source package will be uploaded to the Debian servers. Those servers will then automatically initiate the package-build process. This process will need to compile your program from source, then build the binary package (that is, the .deb file) from the result. There is not, and cannot be, any human involvement in this sequence. At most, if any part of the build fails, a human can modify the source package and upload it to be tried again. As such, anything other than a fully-automated compilation and package-building process is not going to wind up being included in Debian. -- The Wanderer The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself.
