So, I was able to successfully upload a source package by running dpkg-buildpackage with the -S option. However, when I ran it with -b to generate a binary package, I got the "Upload is binaryful, but policy refuses binaryful uploads" error. If it won't accept binary packages, how can I get a binary package uploaded to my ppa? It may help to know that it's pure Python, using distutils and cdbs.

You need to create the source package with '-S -sa' arguments. When
you upload the source package, binary packages for various
architectures get built on server.

I suspect a better question is "Why do you *want* to upload a binary
package to your PPA?"

I just didn't understand at the time that PPA would build it for me
