Debian is almost like a trusted retail shop. They mediate between you (the producer of the software) and me (the consumer of the software). The quality control they are responsible for, does make them a trusted "shop" for the users - for example, one believes that using debian packages protects from malware. It's natural the user cares more about this system than the producer - for the producer it looks like hassle and a middleman. (Sidenote: Sometimes I'm the producer side of debian packages too.) |

But my point is there's no such thing as creating a "debian package" from the producer side. We create software to be used on certain operating systems; perhaps only unix-like OSs. But we don't produce software "for debian".
