Is it possible to build the deb packages in house and then upload the binaries to launchpad PPA, instead of uploading the source package and let it build by the build farm ?

No it's not possible, as Launchpad only accepts source package uploads for reasons of trust - people need to be able to have the source to what was built, and you cannot put proprietary software into PPAs.

And what about xswat PPA with nvidia binary drivers? – Extender Nov 19 '10 at 8:55
@Extender: Most likely a "source package" where the specified compile rules is about putting the provided binary bits in place. – andol Nov 19 '10 at 14:39
