i wonder why you don't trust it.

Debian uses a a number of (automated) tests to ensure well-behavedness
of packages, including their complete uninstallability.
checkout out [piuparts].

in any case, i'm not sure i understand the actual reasoning behind the
request: it seems that you want to be able to easily build pd-l2ork on a
number of different machines (where you only have limited access).
may i ask why?
the question seems to boil down to: why can't you build the deb on
*your* machine (a dedicated development machine) and deploy the package
on all the other machines? after all, we are talking about apt, not
emerge...

if this is mainly about building for different architectures, you might
want to have a look at [qemubuilder].

alternatively, you might want to think about getting Pd-l2ork into
Debian proper. (that however would most likely mean that this package
would need to use the externals already packaged for Debian (and build
for pd-vanilla) instead of shipping your own copy; if you are still
interested, contact me off-list)
