This is something that would be vary valuable to Debian users. There is currently a project like launchpad PPA for Debian and there is also mentors.debian.net that does not build packages, only publishes the source.

DFSG have nothing to do with 3rd party repositories, being that's what PPA is. I'm amassed that Canonical will host packages for any one, they might be distributing copyrighted or otherwise illegal material.

I don't see launchpad PPA being a good alternative to mentors.debian.net, posting packages to a launchpad PPA would be a distribution portal, not an advertisement for inclusion, much as it is for Ubuntu.

I don't see where the problem exists with spending computer resources on this, your boxes are either doing something or they are idle. Spending idle time on this would be appreciated more then setiathome!

What about the possibility of uploading compiled packages for Debian distributions?
