Yes, understood, but the build service actually offers two ways
to build debian packages:

 1) standard debian way:
    provide a (signed) .dsc file, a pristine _orig tarball and
    a .diff file.

 2) debtransform way:
    provide a .dsc file, a tar ball, some patches, and some
    debian files (optionally in a tar archive).
    It transforms those file into a standard debian package
    and builds a .deb.

Currently the build service doesn't put the resulting .dsc and
.diff file in the debian repository, but this will change.

Cheers,
  Michael.
