Bug Description
I would like to be able to put a source package into my PPA without having to use dput. (I am not running Debian nor Ubuntu or another derivate.)
My proposed method would be like this:
- Point out a link to the source tarball to Launchpad. (I.e. on the releases page I already gave the "URL pattern" to them, so that Launchpad would automatically import new releases.)
- Tell Launchpad where in that archive the debian dpkg directory will be found.
- Launchpad will download the source tarball from the specified location and build the package for me, without me having to setup dput or other Debian utils on my system.

Well... a little work-around for you.
I created an ArchLinux package of dput someday ago. dput and dcut are only python-scripts that you can use everywhere. You only need to copy some files to your distro of your choice. :-)
