I am actively working on it. It's just not as easy when you can't
start from scratch as Ubuntu did.

This is not the case, as I learnt today. Packages can be maintained
however the maintainer chooses. They will be imported into Launchpad
whereever the source may be, and then they are available in bzr for
branching and bug fixing. Maintainers can get patches (via Launchpad
presumably), or just use the branches directly, and packages will be
built from here automatically (by Soyuz), much according to what
I had proposed, but without the certificates:
