I think this is great. I am an arch user at home, but at work I use Ubuntu. It is really difficult sometimes to get the latest version of a software installed in an easy way. I tend to use a lot of custom Makefiles for this, but I don't really like to not use the package manager. Being an arch user, I always wished it was as easy to build deb packages as it is to build packages with makepkg. I tried the debian way, and could successfully build some packages, but it is not at easy at using PKGBUILD files and I have to eventually. Now it seems to be possible to do this in Ubuntu! I will definitely try this!
