At work I do a simple "make_distribution <package>" and it will be built for all current Ubuntu/Debian/CentOS and Red Hat versions automatically. RPMs and DEBs are also created and added to our repos.
Yes initial setup of such a build server took some trail and error but not it's very easy to add new distribution/release. What I do think that we miss in the community is prebuilt building solutions like this.

Isn't that what OpenSUSE's Open Build Service does?

Sort of I think, I looked at it before building our own solution. But I never really figured out the how/what/when when looking at their project web site.
