Do you want to create something that 1) can be *used* by anyone, or
something that can also be 2) installed/admined by 'anyone'? The
first is doable now.

for the first case.

Debian's goals are not to provide ease of use at all costs. And our
current packages aren't flexible enough, in my opinion, to provide
goal number 2) out of the box.
