Honestly, the packaging is the least important thing.
the point I was trying to make is that the implied argument/momentum of

gitlab is not" is all hypothetical at this point.
if there would actually be a consensus to switch from gitlab to forgejo,
it should be done because (after evaluation) it turns out it's the
better tool to fit the job - personally, I doubt that - while I prefer
forgejo, it does have less feature than gitlab and I think people
woudn't want to miss them.
if you run this service, you won't really be basing it on a package in Debian.

besides that, yes, I'm very aware that the setup of a large, HA forge is
way different from a setup at home ('sudo apt install forgejo' and be
'done'). I for sure do not expect people running it using the forgejo
package from Debian, however and given all the hypotheticals, of course
I'd merge anything that would make help/make it easier doing so.
