For those packages where I use travis-ci, travis is building the
packages in Ubuntu on every commit, e.g.

https://github.com/resiprocate/resiprocate/blob/master/.travis.yml

I have a few virtualization environments, Xen Cloud Platform (XCP)
(headless machines in a data center) and VirtualBox (on dev
workstations/laptop)

My Ubuntu environment is currently saucy running as a guest in XCP

As an upstream developer, users who I deal with directly are using
packages on stable releases of Ubuntu, Debian and Fedora so I tend to do
builds in VMs running the current stable release but I also
intermittently test with pbuilder

Most of the code I work with does not have linking dependencies on other
complicated frameworks like Gnome so it builds just as easily on CentOS5
as on saucy or sid
