Of course, but I can do that without OBS as well. I thought OBS bridges the gap between deb and rpm distributions a bit by making it easier to build for both types, but I was wrong there at least for the current situation.
Well, we try. There's already code in the BS that lets you use the same tarball, multiple patches and changelog for both debian and rpm. What's still different is the way the packages are built, debian has the rule file and lots of dh_helper scripts, rpm has the spec file. Currently you have to provide both spec and dsc/rule files if you want to build for debian and rpm, the semantics are just too different (e.g. pre/postinstall scriptlets work very different for deb and rpm). There are some efforts to specify a "meta" description that can be used to build simple packages, but AFAIK this is still work in progress.
