I imagined that distro packaging tools would end up using the wheel as an intermediate format when building a deb from a source deb.

Do you mean, the distro would download the wheel or that it would build it during the build step for the archive? Probably not the former, as any binary blobs in a wheel would both violate policy and likely be inappropriate for all the platforms we build for. -Barry
