the massive issue I have with debian, despite it being my preferred server OS, is I have no idea how you’re actually meant to do anything with the platform beyond consuming it. I build my own packages for my infrastructure because it’s more robust than copying tarballs around, but it’s complicated enough that I have to rely on a third party tool (makedeb) to do it. And here an APT maintainer is claiming that apt-ftparchive sees no serious use outside of Canonical. How are you supposed to host a package repo then??
