At least one person trusts you: yourself. Good start, but far to be enough.stevepusser wrote:Somehow I trust myself enough
It is even not only a question of trust, but also reliability: do you commit to maintain your packets ? Or is it just a shot for fun for your personal use ?
One could wonder: why don't you ask Debian to become a maintainer for some packages, and accept the Debian rules ?
Who all over the planet can imagine that Mr X has dropped a very specific Debian package Y on a unknown server Z ? => nobody.
The right place for Ubuntu Personal packages is Lanchpad: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu , where packagers have accepted a Code of Conduct .
And your Ubuntu packages should be there, and nowhere else.
By deduction, I would say that Debian Personal packages should be there: https://launchpad.net/debian/ and not lost on totally unpredictable and random servers.

Don't know what is the status of PPA for Debian, but communication should come: Debian Could Get PPA Support
+ more info on PPA: Create a Debian Package From PPA
In summary, it's quite amazing and inconsistent to find someone on this thread reminding the Don't Break Debian rule, but at the same time tries to confusely explain that he has droped himself a Debian package on a fuzzy server, and without any basic rules or minimum code of conduct.
These Debian personal packages should be at least managed as seriously as Ubuntu PPA.
If not, it leaves the door open to anything not obviously recommended, to not say, not recommended at all, and even in total contradiction with Debian rules.
