Awesome.  

The build service seems like a good thing to know about anyway.

I've opened a "bug" <https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=425862>
to have a project setup  on the build service for OpenGroupware.Org so
that it isn't "mine" in my home page,  and as a project multiple
maintainers can be added.

And over the weekend I promise to read
<http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/cross_distribution_package_how_to>
which has a section on Debian and Ubuntu packages. :)
Meanwhile you probably want to install the build service client tools
<http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/CLI> as they are *much*
easier/quicker to use than the web interface.

And there is:
<http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service#How_to_Use_It>
<http://en.opensuse.org/Build_Service/Tutorial>
<https://build.opensuse.org/documentation/obs/index.html> if you feel
like doing a bit of reading.
