Very nice!  Let me ask some dumb questions:

I've setup a launchpad PPA to host Ubuntu packages of bitcoin.

What does PPA stand for?

Does launchpad help solve the 'trusted build' problem-- e.g. does the build process automatically fetch from source code that we can all look at and audit?

How hard would it be to setup something similar to produce regular builds of the github integration repository?

Right now, the bitcoin build process is "Satoshi does it."  Using Launchpad to create the Linux builds seems like the right way to go.

Last dumb question:  are there services similar to Launchpad for building Mac/Windows software?
