On a more serious side note, I think OP's point was to promote a package
format where the upstream developer already does all the work and create
a Debian package on the fly which could simply be dropped into the
archives ready to install. Even when the package wasn't in Debian in
the first place, which is the main assumption of your script, Paule.
However, this shifts the responsibility for the QA of a package from
Debian towards upstream which will probably end in fear and loathing
in the archives in no time.
Turning an upstream source into a working Debian package isn't really
time-consuming and difficult for most cases. However, creating a well-
maintainable and (lintian-)clean package into Debian isn't and takes
lots of care and attention by a dedicated Debian Maintainer which knows
the in and outs of Debian, its Policy and its powerful tools.
Cheers,
Adrian
