So you would like to see a system that does not use autobuilder? But how then would we create the binaries that a user would install? And if you just upload a binary to garage, how can we check that it won't erase the user's hard drive, etc?

Are you suggesting we use sbuild and debian native tools or SuSE's Open Build Service?

I don't see any other option other than sending packages through the autobuilder at the moment.
