I think Anton was saying that it's worse to package binary debian packages, not debian packages as a whole. We create source packages which can be uploaded to (for example) launchpad PPAs, and built (compiled) for multiple architectures including i386, AMD64, LPIA and ARM. If you build binary packages then the onus is on you to rebuild for other architectures.
