I'm of the idea that we should actually produce source tarball and then
build from it... this would ensure that our source tarball can be used
to build every binary we ship....

Perhaps build-binary.sh needs to check for .bzr and if so, call a (newly
created) build-source-tarball.sh which is basically just bzr export?
