Right, although the Geant4 packages (due partly to size) are in a
separate location, under
http://lcg-heppkg.web.cern.ch/lcg-heppkg/debian/ . (I'm pretty sure
Brett is aware of it and meant that it's useful to have Geant4
available in .deb format even unofficially. I suspect anyone who's
gone through that software's build process by hand agrees.)

Maybe ... there are serious licensing obstacles to making official
packages of most of my unofficial stuff, unfortunately.
