Because I don't have the time it would take to build the packages. I want
my distribution vendor to have done that for me, so I have a simple binary
I can install. Like Martin, I don't have a compiler installed on my live
machines, so there *has* to be a separate compile server. But the existence
of a separate machine for it doesn't mean that there are enough people to
actually do the work.
