this was heavily discussed in the "kicking of Wheezy flame^W^Wthread".
For example see [1][2] for (some) relevant sub threads. Quintessence, in
my opinion, was that there should be something like an Ubuntu PPA for
Debian, but with a slightly different focus and purpose. That is, from
developers only for specific tasks. For example to supersede the current
practice of developers to upload their packages non targeted to the main
branches everywhere but not really transparent for their users.
That said, the realization mostly suffers from the fact, there is no
software available to do this on the software side, as Launchpad is not
free software, and usable alternatives don't exist.
