The packages in the FreeSWITCH repo do indeed work on Ubuntu.
Do you really need to build the packages yourself?
Sometimes you want to run on a *speciffic* git revision and not what's pushed up to the servers each release. Also, when I'm running in production, I need to be 100% sure I can recreate everything with deployment scripts (salt). I can't assume that FreeSWITCH's file or git servers are up. So, having the source locally and being able to build debs at a known git hash provide that (if needed). Just a few thoughts on why you *might* want to build. Best, Gabe
