Hey Yuri,
Yes, working with a PPA (sbuild) can be a real pain. I've learned over the years how to do it. All of the things you raised are definitely annoying, but there's actually very good reasons for all of them that make packages better. This is the reason why Debian has such a very high quality selection of packages because of their high standards. I really recommend checking out the Debian Policy Manual at some point for future benefit too.
