Agreed.
And besides that, I think the more universal answer is
bikesheds/PPAs/you-name-it instead of yet-another-suite.
IIRC, there's even a draft specification … What I found now is
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2013/05/msg00131.html [0]
https://lists.debian.org/debian-dak/2015/09/msg00023.html ff.
Since then bikesheds keep being mentioned every now and then for
handling fast-moving software; e.g.
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/01/msg00696.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/03/msg00363.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/04/msg00059.html
https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2018/10/msg00072.html
Cheers,
