Just to confirm what Jonathan said, you should read again what he said.
And I would like to add that with this tool, you are creating closed
source packages, not free software. It's not because it's a .deb that
it's free. deb packages are binaries, so you can't see how it was
build and what is inside (because it's compiled code, not the source).
That why you can only upload source code on Launchpad.
